Abstract:
Little has been written concerning the role of women in nephrology in America during the first half of the twentieth century. However, the records show that women scientists made substantial contributions to nephrology and definitely were involved in research efforts at a number of prestigious academic institutions that had interests focused on kidney function in health and disease. Here, we describe the contributions of some of these pioneering women scientists to whom nephrology shall always be indebted.
