Sara Josephine Baker
born in Poughkeepsie
By Liz Highleyman
Past Out
Although not nearly as well known as
bisexual performer Josephine Baker, lesbian
physician Sara Josephine Baker was a public-
health pioneer who played an important role
in improving child health and welfare.
Baker was bom in November 1873 to a
wealthy family in Poughkeepsie, N.Y. A
tomboy, she described herself as an "enthusi-
astic baseball player and trout fisher." Even as
a child she was concerned about those less
privileged: At age six she gave away the fine
clothes she was wearing — a fancy dress, blue
silk stockings, and even her underwear — to a
raggedly dressed black girl she encountered
on the street.
When Baker was 16, her father, a lawyer,
died of typhoid fever. Although she had
planned to attend Vassar like her mother, she
instead decided to study medicine to help sup-
port her family. At a time when few women
were admitted to medical schools, Baker
attended the Women's Medical College in
New York City, founded by America's first
woman physician, Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell,
and her sister, Dr. Emily Blackwell.
After finishing medical school in 1898,
Baker served an internship in Boston, but soon
returned to New York City to start her own
practice. To supplement her meager income,
she took a job as a medical inspector with the
New York City Health Department.
Six years later she was appointed assistant
to the health commissioner. Baker is perhaps
best known for tracking down and capturing
"Typhoid Mary" Mallon, an Irish immigrant
cook who was linked to a series of typhoid
outbreaks.
Baker encountered dismal conditions in
Hell's Kitchen and on the Lower East Side,
where poor sanitation and crowded living con-
ditions caused the deaths of thousands of
infants each year. "I climbed stair after stair,
knocked on door after door, met drunk after
drunk, filthy mother after filthy mother, and
dying baby after dying baby," she recounted in
her autobiography. At a time when most doc-
tors focused on treating people who were
already ill, Baker emphasized the importance
of preventive health care. In the summer of
1908 she instituted a program to teach poor
immigrant mothers how to care for their
babies, which dramatically reduced the infant
mortality rate and led to her appointment as
head of the city's new Division of Child
Hygiene, the first-ever children's health
department.
Often dressed in a suit and he — which she
called her "protective coloring" — Baker res-
olutely made her way in what was then most-
ly a man's field, frequently encountering
resentment from her male colleagues. On one
occasion her successful prevention efforts led a
group of male physicians to petition the mayor
to abolish the children's health department,
claiming it was cutting into their business by
keeping babies well.
Baker's reform-minded efforts were not
limited to children's health. She also devoted
herself to the struggle for women's liberation.
Like many of her feminist contemporaries,
Baker was a member of the Heterodoxy Club,
a group of "unorthodox women" — many of
them lesbians — who met in Greenwich
Village to discuss the social and political issues
of the day. Baker took part in the first march
for women's suffrage in New York City and
met with President Woodrow Wilson and
members of Congress to seek their support.
She later expressed disappointment that suf-
