Abstract

We highlight the contribution of notable Jewish women in American dermatology. Although not intended to be a thorough listing, we selected nine representatives as examples of early pioneer women in American dermatology and research and those who were political leaders, authors and journal editors, and teachers and role models. All struggled to overcome professional barriers to women in medicine; many experienced antisemitism, especially those who were forced to flee Nazi Germany. Despite persecution and upending their lives, they rebuilt their careers and made outstanding contributions to the field of dermatology.
