Elizabeth Bruyn was an American physician active in the early 20th century, noted for her work as an ambulance surgeon in New York City at a time when women were significantly underrepresented in emergency medical services. She is most frequently associated with Brooklyn, where she reportedly served in a municipal ambulance corps, participating in urgent and pre-hospital care during a period of rapid urban and medical transformation.[1] Bruyn is often cited in historical discussions of women’s entry into public-facing medical roles, particularly through a widely circulated 1911 photograph depicting her seated in a horse-drawn ambulance.[2] Although detailed biographical information about her life and training remains limited, her presence in contemporary newspaper accounts and visual archives reflects the expanding, though still constrained, opportunities available to women physicians in the United States during this period.
