Idenlea was the country estate of two generations of trailblazing women: first woman physician in PA Dr. Hannah E Longshore (1819-1901), her sister and successful early woman physician Dr. Jane V Myers (1831-1918), and her daughter, prominent women’s advocate Lucretia Mott Longshore Blankenburg (1845-1937). These women were most notable for their leadership in advancing the causes of women’s rights, suffrage, and women in medicine; abolition of slavery; and civic and municipal reform in Philadelphia.
