Medical College in Toronto
and the push from other
women medical pioneers

of studies the college was
closed and men and women
students went into classes
together at University of
Toronto Medical School.
Students at that time
studied everything together
but anatomy'. It was a time
when it was thought that
eyes of both men and women
should not look upon the
body’s parts at the same
time. Separate rooms were
used for anatomy studies.
Learning surgical skills
was a great problem. No
male doctor in Toronto
would train Jennie Smillie
despite her passionate
desires to learn.
She believed that women
would never amount to much
in medicine as long as they
had to depend on men for
surgery.
So she went to
Philadelphia where a female
surgeon took her in at
Women’s Medical College
and taught her surgery.
Equipped with her new
skills she returned to Toron
to but couldn’t find a
hospital that would grant
her permission to do sur
gery.
She did her first operation
for a diseased ovary on a
kitchen table. It was done in
the middle of the day so
lighting was not a problem.
Over the years as more
women became doctors, Dr.
Smillie Robertson saw the
need for a hospital of their
own.
Women doctors banded
together and in 1911 with
finances from friends they
rented a house on Seaton
street. Finally Women’s
College was built on its pre
sent site on Grenville street.
Shortly after her retire
ment at the age of 70, Dr.
Smillie received a phone call
from Alex Robertson a man
she hadn’t seen for more
than 20 years.
Mr. Robertson, also 70, a
widower and retired as a
bank manager proposed and
Jennie accepted. They lived
a happy 10 years together
until his death.
Mrs. Smillie Robertson
will be celebrating her 100th
birthday at Bayview Villa
Nursing Home in Toronto
where she is a resident.
