Mel Avery told me that as Chief of Medicine at Children's, she would sometimes walk the wards at night. One evening, she noticed a little boy awake in bed and stopped to talk with him. After some conversation, she asked him whether someday, when he was grown up, would he like to become a doctor. "Oh, no," he replied, "only girls can be doctors."
She clearly relished telling this story and I enjoyed hearing it. I think she told me this story because she knew of my interest in documenting the changes that led to the dramatic increase of women in medicine in the mid- to late 20th century. How ironic that a doctor who was one of only six women in her medical school class of ninety would hear these words from a little boy who, only a few years before, would likely have assumed the opposite.
Of course, Mel made many contributions to this outcome, both as an active instigator and a role model. A colleague told me that when Mel's appointment as Chief was announced, women cheered and rushed into the corridor to share the news. Our expectations are shaped by what we see around us. How lucky we are that what we experience today was influenced by this outstanding leader.

Description
An account of the resource
Mary Ellen Avery (1927-), A.B., 1948, Wheaton College, Norton, Massachusetts; M.D., 1952, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, Maryland, was Thomas Morgan Rotch Professor of Pediatrics at Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts, and Physician-in-Chief Emeritus at Children's Hospital, Boston. Avery was known for discovering in 1959 that the lack of lung surfactant in premature infants caused respiratory distress syndrome. Avery was the first woman to chair a major department at Harvard Medical School, and the first female Physician-in-Chief at Children's Hospital, Boston. As Physician-in-Chief, Avery established the Joint Program in Neonatology with Beth Israel and Peter Bent Brigham Hospitals. Throughout her career, Avery studied lung biochemistry, surface tension, and pulmonary physiology. She has been awarded numerous honors, including the National Medal of Science in 1991, the John Howland Medal, and the Virginia Apgar Award from the American Academy of Pediatrics, among others. Avery served on the Board of Directors for the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the Burroughs Wellcome Fund. She was also a member of the National Academy of Sciences and President of the American Pediatric Society. <br /><br />The Mary Ellen Avery Papers, 1929-2002, consist of personal and professional correspondence, teaching materials, professional activities records, grant records, articles and drafts, lectures and speeches, diaries, photographs, and other records from Avery's life and career as a pediatrician in: Boston, Massachusetts; Montreal, Quebec; and Baltimore, Maryland and as a professor of pediatrics at Harvard Medical School. Correspondence includes letters of recommendation, reports from meetings, and committee and travel correspondence. Professional records consist of correspondence, reports, patient records, notes, newspaper clippings, committee materials, and other records chronicling Avery's involvement and interactions with professional organizations, committees, publications, and institutions, including the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the Joint Program in Neonatology, the American Pediatric Society, and Physicians for Social Responsibility. Professional records also contain correspondence and reports from the Joint Program in Neonatology, Children's Hospital, Boston, Montreal Children's Hospital, and Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore. Grants records consist of applications, renewal forms, correspondence, budgets, reports, and other materials related to grants from the National Institutes of Health and Specialized Centers of Research that Avery was involved with, as well as correspondence with the National Tuberculosis Association. Lectures and teaching records contain speech drafts, correspondence, syllabi, and notes from Avery's travels around the world as a guest lecturer and as a professor at Harvard Medical School. Writings and subject files consist of drafts and reprints of writings by Avery on such topics as respiratory distress syndrome, hyaline membrane disease, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, and oral rehydration. Personal records include diaries, calendars, photographs, and certificates and awards.
