Lena Sadler

Dr. Lena Sadler was an American physician, surgeon, and obstetrician who was a leader in womens health issues.

After completing her literary education, she taught for two years, and then took up the nursing profession. It was while engaged in professional studies as a nurse that she met her husband, William S. Sadler, and they married in 1897. After their marriage, the active interest they both had taken in health matters turned their attention toward the profession of medicine. They pursued their medical studies together, and graduated with equal honors at the American Medical Missionary College in 1906. Their only living son was born in 1907, named William S. Sadler, Jr. She was one of many activists who diligently worked to recognize the contributions of women as professionals in the medical and scientific fields.
