Alice Bunker Stockham (1833-1912) was a gynecologist from Chicago, an enthusiastic fighter for a marital and sexual reform. She was the fifth woman in the U.S.A., who got the degree of a Medical Doctor. Apart from her medical practice she was engaged in charity and interested in spiritual topics. She also applied homeopathy, fought against alcoholism, served probably sometimes as a trance medium and was an active feminist, a suffragette. It is time to rediscover the life and work of this outstanding figure.
