Annie Praed (1873? - 26 December 1948) was one of the first two women to graduate from the University of Sydney. She was awarded a Licence in Dental Surgery in 1904 and a Bachelor of Dental Surgery in 1906.[1] In 1938 Praed was the first woman in Australia to graduate with a Doctor of Dental Science at the same university.[1][2]

Early life

Praed was born in England.[3] Mystery surrounds her early life until 1886, when she was approximately 14 years old and recorded as entering the household of Henry Burton-Bradley, a Sydney solicitor, as a servant.[4] Burton-Bradley is thought to have funded Praed's early education at the Lotaville private school in Randwick.[4]

Career

After obtaining her dental qualification, Praed started a dental practice with Margaret Barnes, the other early woman dentistry graduate at the University of Sydney.[3][5] In 1914, Praed represented the University of Sydney's undergraduate class in London at the International Dental Congress.[5] Upon her return, Praed established a sole practice and developed a speciality in prosthodontics.[5] She held honorary positions at the United Dental Hospital of Sydney,[3] and was a founding member of the Dental Health Education Committee of the Australian Dental Association, becoming chairwoman in 1940.[5]

Death

Praed died on 26 December 1948 at Darling Point, New South Wales leaving no known relations.[3] Praed was especially encouraging to young women dentistry students in her time; her legacy continues to inspire even after her death.[4]
