In 1911 Lee Choo Neo became the first Straits Chinese girl to earn the Senior Cambridge Certificate, and in 1919 she graduated from King Edward VII Medical College, Singapore.[3][1] She originally served as an assistant surgeon, overseeing two women's wards at the General Hospital.[1] However, in 1930, she opened her own clinic on Bras Basah Road, which specialized in maternity care.[1] In addition to her medical work, she was a founder of the Chinese Ladies' Association of Malaya (later called the Chinese Women’s Association), founded in 1915, which raised funds for war, taught domestic skills, introduced outdoor sports, and sponsored a rescue home for at-risk women.[2][1] She served as the Association's honorary secretary for many years.[1] In 1925 she and two other women were appointed to the Chinese Marriage Committee, which was investigating the need for laws to govern Chinese marriage and divorce in the Straits Settlements.[1] The Chinese Marriage Committee found that women wanted an end to polygamy, while men did not; their findings were a preliminary to the 1961 passage of the Women's Charter, which outlawed polygamy.[1] Lee Choo Neo died in 1947, and her grave is located in Singapore in the Bukit Brown Chinese Cemetery.[4] The Singapore Women's Hall of Fame was created in 2014, and Lee Choo Neo was inducted into it that same year, under the category "Health."[5][1] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 {{cite web|url=http://www.swhf.sg/the-inductees/18-health/152-lee-choo-neo|title=SINGAPORE WOMEN'S HALL OF FAME - Lee Choo Neo|author=SWHF|publisher=}} 2. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://news.asiaone.com/news/diva/they-helped-shape-todays-singapore#sthash.BUNct6Qi.dpuf|title=They helped shape today's Singapore|work=AsiaOne}} 3. ^{{cite book|author=Michael Backman|title=The Asian Insider: Unconventional Wisdom for Asian Business|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=vH-TDxqX0lYC&pg=PA72|date=5 April 2004|publisher=Palgrave Macmillan|isbn=978-1-4039-4840-3|pages=72–}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.classicfengshuimastery.com/singapore-bukit-brown-chinese-cemetery/lee-choo-neo/|title=Lee Choo Neo Classic Feng Shui Mastery|work=Classic Feng Shui Mastery}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.istana.gov.sg/photogallery/launch-singapore-womens-hall-fame|title=Launch of Singapore Women's Hall of Fame|publisher=|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20151123003104/http://www.istana.gov.sg/photogallery/launch-singapore-womens-hall-fame|archivedate=2015-11-23|df=}} 7 : Singaporean people of Hakka descent|People from Dabu|Singaporean gynaecologists|Women physicians|Singaporean women's rights activists|1895 births|1947 deaths |
