Dr. Clemence Sophia Lozier was one of the earliest women who practiced medicine and was thoroughly identified with the cause of medical education for women. She was left an orphan at the age of eleven. At seventeen she left school to marry Abraham Witton Lozier, an architect by profession, who built for her a home in Tenth Street, New York, where they lived until 1837. She graduated from the Syracuse Eclectic College in 1853 and opened a practice in New York immediately. She began giving lectures to women on anatomy and physiology, which inspired her to open a medical school. After a long and difficult struggle she founded the New York Medical College and Hospital for Women in 1863. Lozier's home was open to leading feminists such as Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony, whose publication, "The Revolution," Lozier sustained financially. Only one of her seven children survived; Abraham Witton Lozier became a physician and his two wives were doctors and graduates of his mother's college.
Her father was a farmer, David Harned, her mother was Hannah Walker. William Harned, an elder brother of Clemence, was also a physician of good reputation in New York.
