Elizabeth Marshall (January 28, 1768 – July 26, 1836) was an American entrepreneur who became the second female pharmacist in the United States.
[4] Her grandfather thought highly of her, as shown in unpublished diary entries preserved in the Historical Society of Pennsylvania.
[4] Marshall is regarded by some as being the first female pharmacist in the United States,[4] though Elizabeth Gooking Greenleaf was the first in 1727.
She was able to bring the shop out of bankruptcy and her efforts resulted in the pharmacy's financial success during that period.
[1][2] Marshall retired shortly after the death of her father in 1825 and passed her business on to her apprentices, Charles Ellis and Isaac P.
