Anna Maria Tobbe

Anna Maria Tobbe (1838–1886) was a Dutch pharmacist. She was the second female pharmacist in the Netherlands, but the first woman to apply for a job as a pharmacist. Her application eventually brought about the reform that enabled other women to be licensed.

Tobbe was the fourth of seven children of Hendrik Tobbe (third generation to bear that name) and Jeannette Scholten, and was born in a wooden house on de Lagedijk (The Lower Dike) in Zaandijk. Along with her siblings, she belonged to the fourth generation of a family of surgeons and pharmacists.

The pharmacy continued to be run by a man, Lodewijk Wigersma, who had married Anna's sister Helena. It was renamed from "Tobbe Pharmacy" to "De Roemer".
