Lucy Virginia Meriwether Davis Davies (April 18, 1862 – April 17, 1949) was one of New York State's first female physicians; she was also a botanist, civil libertarian, suffragist, philosopher and lover of music and art.
She had studied medicine to escape a scandal after she eloped with and then killed her first husband.
He had agreed it was self-defence before he died.
She married again only to find out years later that her husband had two complete families and two wives.
