Early life and education edit
Lockrey was born on April 21, 1863, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.[1] She graduated from Woman's Medical College of Pennsylvania (WMCP) in 1888.[2] After interning with Dr. Anna Broomall at WMCP, Lockrey went on to become chief of the gynecological staff there.[1]
Career edit
Lockrey worked at the West Philadelphia Hospital for Women and the Elwyn School for the Feeble-Minded. She was a physician at Methodist Deaconess Home for more than two decades.[1] She focused on improving women's healthcare, and specialized in gynecology and gynecological surgery. She was also a member of the American Medical Association (AMA), a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, and a member of the Medical Women's National Association (MWNA).[3]
Lockrey was a member of the National Woman's Party (NWP), and served on the NWP's National Advisory Council.[3] She participated in the August 6, 1918, demonstration at Lafayette Square, Washington, D.C., and was arrested and charges with "holding a meeting on public grounds" and sentenced to jail.[4][1] Rather than serve her sentence, Dr. Lockrey paid a fine so that she could return to Philadelphia to perform surgery. In 1920, Lockry received the NWP's "prison pin."[3]
Lockrey died in Philadelphia on November 8, 1929.[1]
