In 1952, Windham, Frances McKinney Duncan and Lorraine Proctor Anderson were all members of the third graduating class from the University of Arizona’s College of Pharmacy.
They were its only female graduates in a class of 30 or so. “There were two other women in the class, but they did not graduate,” says Windham.
They rolled pills, compounded suppositories and ointments, and made their own eyedrops.
“When we took our state licensing exams, we had to make all our powders, ointments and lotions,” recalls Yvonne Anderson Windham.
