====Women==== Hopkins's most well-known battle for women's rights was the one led by daughters of trustees of the university; [[Mary Garrett|Mary E. Garrett]], [[M. Carey Thomas]], Mamie Gwinn, Elizabeth King, and Julia Rogers.<ref name="women"/> They donated and raised the funds needed to open the medical school, and required Hopkins's officials to agree to their stipulation that women would be admitted. The [[nursing school]] opened in 1889 and accepted women and men as students.<ref>{{cite web|url = http://webapps.jhu.edu/jhuniverse/information_about_hopkins/about_jhu/chronology/|title = The Johns Hopkins University- Chronology|access-date = March 4, 2015|website = webapps.jhu.edu|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20150228234400/http://webapps.jhu.edu/jhuniverse/information%5Fabout%5Fhopkins/about%5Fjhu/chronology/|archive-date = February 28, 2015}}</ref> Other graduate schools were later opened to women by president [[Ira Remsen]] in 1907. [[Christine Ladd-Franklin]] was the first woman to earn a PhD at Hopkins, in mathematics in 1882.<ref>{{cite web|url = http://www2.webster.edu/~woolflm/christineladd.html|title = Christine Ladd-Franklin|access-date = March 4, 2015|website = Women's Intellectual Contributions to the Study of Mind and Society|last = Ragsdale|first = Samantha|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20150421023720/http://www2.webster.edu/~woolflm/christineladd.html|archive-date = April 21, 2015}}</ref> The trustees denied her the degree for decades and refused to change the policy about admitting women. In 1893, Florence Bascomb became the university's first female PhD.<ref name=women/> The decision to admit women at undergraduate level was not considered until the late 1960s and was eventually adopted in October 1969. As of 2009β2010, the undergraduate population was 47% female and 53% male.<ref name="Johns Hopkins University"/> In 2020, the undergraduate population of Hopkins was 53% female.<ref>{{cite web|title=Johns Hopkins University|url=https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/jhu-2077|website=USNews|access-date=January 29, 2021|archive-date=January 28, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210128233649/https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/jhu-2077|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Johns Hopkins University - Student Population And Demographics|url=https://www.collegetuitioncompare.com/edu/162928/johns-hopkins-university/enrollment/|access-date=2021-01-29|website=College Tuition Compare|language=en|archive-date=January 24, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210124102847/https://www.collegetuitioncompare.com/edu/162928/johns-hopkins-university/enrollment|url-status=live}}</ref>
