Frieda Fraser
edit... that Frieda Fraser injected horses with bacterial toxins to cure humans with scarlet fever?[1] this shows she did it [2] this explains the procedure.- ALT1:... that Drs. Frieda Fraser and Edith Williams wrote letters for 24 years before they were able to acquire a home to live together in 1941? [3] p. 72 "Edith and Frieda corresponded with each other between 1917 and 1924" and p. 2 "The correspondence ended when Edith and Frieda finally established a permanent residence in Toronto together in 1941".

- Comment: Newly created article for Women in Red Pride Month Can we ensure that it runs in June?

Profound and engaging article (GA), interesting life, on excellent sources, offline sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. I struck the first hook as less interesting in June. Perhaps we'll need to explain "Drs.", or say scientists, or even more precisely what kind, or use {{abbr}}. Yes, I know what it means, but this is Main page crowd reading ;) - Do we need 1941? Almost more dramatic/romantic without it. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:19, 8 June 2017 (UTC)
- Comment: Thanks Gerda Arendt, totally appreciate your looking at this. I toyed with scientists, but I am not sure that Edith ever did research. Then, I also didn't know if they applied DVM to graduates who graduated before the designation was approved in Canada in 1946 [4], so I opted just to keep it simple with Drs. I saw nothing that said she ever returned to school, thus...unless she was grandfathered to a DVM, she was just a Dr. We don't need 1941 except that it puts context to the time when very little history of LGBT people existed, so I thought it might add to the appeal. If you want me to change it, it can be changed. SusunW (talk) 20:15, 8 June 2017 (UTC)
- Thank you for explaining. You could still say what Frieda was - as she is the bold person. Or use Drs.? Or drop it? Whatever, it has my blessing, but next come the DYK critics ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:31, 8 June 2017 (UTC)
