Tweet by @jackiantonovich with a picture of a gravestone for Dr Marion Stevenson and Dr Hope Nichoson under an angraved banner reading 'Medical classmates U of M 1920. The text on the tweet says: One of my favorite stories that never made it into the diss: Two women physicians who graduated from the University of Michigan Medical School, lived together, traveled together, and never married. They are buried next to each other as "medical classmates."

Never married in this context means never married a man, which is something all women of the time were expected to do
