[Dora Teleky - an early member of the German Society of Urology].

Dora Teleky (1879/81-1963) was one of the first female Physicians in Austria and the first woman, who was member of the old Deutsche Gesellschaft für Urologie (German Society of Urology). She was a specialist for gynaecology with great interest in urology, what was reflected in her scientific publications. Furthermore she tried to strengthen the women's position in the male-dominated medicine. In 1939 she emigrated to the USA, because as a Jewish descendant she was pursued after the Austrian "Anschluss" to Germany (Austria's annexation to the German "Third Reich"). There she continued working as specialist for gynaecology. After she had retired, she came back to Europe and died 1963 in Switzerland. Georg Thieme Verlag KG Stuttgart · New York.
