Abstract
Jewish women physicians made up roughly one-fifth of the female physicians in Central Europe in the early twentieth century. To become medical doctors, these women had to overcome educational obstacles, family opposition, misogynism and anti-Semitism. As physicians, Jewish women achieved personal self-fulfilment, economic independence and had a chance to help others, while combining marriage, family and career. Female Jewish physicians successfully practiced medicine in a variety of fields in Central Europe before the Nazi era, and, in many cases, after emigration as well.
