Matilda Evans, M.D., (May 13, 1872 – November 17, 1935) was the first African-American woman licensed to practice medicine in South Carolina and an advocate for improved health care for African Americans, particularly children. ==Early life== Matilda Arabella Evans was born on May 13, 1872 to Anderson and Harriet Evans in Aiken, South Carolina. Matilda was the oldest of three children and spent much of the beginning of her life working in fields alongside her family. She attended the Schofield Industrial School, which was established by Martha Schofield, a Philadelphia Quaker.〔 Schofield assisted Evans with applying to college and became her mentor, later inspiring Evans to write her biography.〔 Shoefield helped Evans raise the necessary funds needed to allow Evans to attend Oberlin College in Oberlin, Ohio. She left in 1892 after graduating in 1891 from Oberlin College to accept a teaching position at Haines Institute in Augusta, Georgia. After a year of teaching Matilda entered the Woman’s Medical College in Philadelphia, again with the help of her resourceful mentor, Shoefield, who persuaded a wealthy benefactor, Alfred Jones, to fund her education. In 1897 Evans received a medical degree and abandoned her goal of becoming a medical missionary in Africa to move to Columbia, South Carolina and set up a practice.〔
