About Reading Abbott
Maude Abbott loved to read. This exhibition explores both what she read and ways we can read her life story. While many publications on the famous doctor have focused on the barriers she faced in a male-dominated profession, this exhibition places Abbott among her favourite authors, texts, and locations. At its heart are Abbott鈥檚 five diaries. These precious journals record her daily activities, meetings, travels, meals, health, friends, books, and even her hair appointments.
