Nadezhda P. Suslova (b 1843) was Russia's first female physician. She worked as a gynecologist in Nizhny Novgorod, and was involved in many charity efforts. She was allowed by Ivan Sechenov and Sergey Botkin to attend classes at the Imperial Military Medical Academy. Suslova's first article, Changes in skin sensations under the influence of electrical stimulation, was published in Meditsinskiy Vestnik in 1862. In 1865, after women were officially banned from universities, she moved to Switzerland. In Switzerland, she audited medical classes at the University of Zurich for two years, then became an official student when the university was opened to women. Suslova was the first Russian woman to be awarded a Doctor of Medicine degree, which was conferred after having to defend her research and education in front of a large audience and the medical school faculty.
