In addition to looking after her medical practice, she lectured on personal hygiene, literary topics, and on woman suffrage. Mark served as vice-president of the Association for the Advancement of Women. She was a member of Just Government League of Baltimore, the Equal Suffrage League of Baltimore, the National Geographic Society, and the Arundell Club of Baltimore.{{sfn|Leonard|1914|p=540}} Mark could not remember a time when she was not a suffragist and a doctor.{{sfn|Willard|Livermore|1893|p=493}}

Early years and education

In July 1875, Mark was graduated from Maryland College for Women, Lutherville, Maryland.{{sfn|Leonard|1914|p=540}} In 1883 she returned to make an address before the alumni on "Woman Suffrage and its Workers." Three years later, she delivered another on "Woman in the Medical Profession," which the faculty had printed in pamphlet form for distribution, and she was elected president of the Alumni Association.{{sfn|Willard|Livermore|1893|p=493}}

After her graduation, she studied under the professors in Gettysburg for several years, during which time she was under allopathic treatment in that place and in Baltimore for inherited rheumatism, which affected her eyes. Experiencing no improvement, she tried homeopathy in Philadelphia, and, being benefited, read medicine with her physician, Dr. Anna M. Marshall, for about a year. In 1881, Mark began a course of study in the Boston University School of Medicine, and was graduated in 1884.{{sfn|Willard|Livermore|1893|p=494}}{{sfn|Leonard|1914|p=540}}
