Excerpt from "Arizona Women in Medicine." Arizona Capitol Times, November 10, 2017: Rosa Goodrich Boido, M.D., born in Navasota, Texas, on February 24, 170, was brought to the Arizona Territory as a child. Her father, Briggs Goodrich, went into private law practice with his brother in Tombstone. He served as Pima County attorney and, in 17, became attorney general for the Arizona Territory. Biodo was educated at the Pacific Methodist College in Santa Rosa, California, and received her medical degree from the Cooper Medical College in San Francisco. She and her husband, Dr. Lorenzo Boido, both practiced in Tucson for many years. Rosa Biodo served as the examining physician for the Macabees, Knights and Ladies of Security and the Fraternal Brotherhood. She was a suffragette president of the Equal Suffrage Club of Pima County and worked hard to get women the right to vote. Biodo stood staunchly for prohibition and served as superintendent of Scientific Temperance of the Women’s Christian Temperance Union of Arizona. One event clouded her notable career. She performed what she considered to be a necessary abortion. An undated newspaper account was vague as to the details but stated that she had done the right thing, albeit illegal.

ROSA GOODRICH BOIDO, M. D., president of the Equal Suffrage Club of Pima County, is particularly well known in a professional way and for the work she has done for the benefit of the suffrage question in this vicinity. Dr. Boido was born in Navasota, Texas, February 24, 1870, and is the daughter of Rosa Meador and Briggs Goodrich. Her father was one of the old time attorneys of Arizona, having come here in 1873, and was Attorney General for the Territory. He practiced law in Tombstone in its prosperous days as a member of the firm of Goodrich, Street, Smith & Goodrich. Dr. Boido was educated in Pacific Methodist College, Santa Rosa, Cal., and Cooper Medical College, San Francisco, and for some years has been practicing her profession in Tucson. She is examining physician for the Maccabees, Knights and Ladies of Security and Fraternal Brotherhood. The work of the Suffrage Club of Pima County was carried on largely by five women, Mrs. Hughes, Mrs. Haskin, Dr. Boido, Mrs. Nowell, and Dr. Clara M. Schell, who felt that their long and earnest efforts were amply repaid when the right of suffrage was accorded the women of Arizona, in the fall of 1912. In addition to her professional life and interest in matters of public importance, Mrs. Boido is a homemaker, and with her husband, Dr. Lorenzo Boido, a practicing physician, and children, Rosalind and Lorenzo, Jr., makes her home in Tucson. Dr. Boido is superintendent of Scientific Temperance for the W. C. T. U. of Arizona. Source: Who's Who in Arizona. Volume I. 1913 (p. 612-613). [Includes photo.]
