[FIRST WOMEN DOCTORS FROM TURKEY: AMALIA FRISCH (1882-1941)]
Abstract:
Amália Frisch was born in Edirne/Adrianople, Turkey, in 1882 to an immigrant Jewish family from Hungary. Following her graduation from the American College for Girls in Istanbul in 1901, she traveled to Switzerland for her medical education. Amália Frisch graduated from the school of medicine in Bern in 1907, and received her MD (Doctor universae medicinae) degree from the Zurich University in 1908. She specialised in gynaecology at the Vienna University Clincs, before returning to Istanbul. In the December of 1908, Dr. Amália Frisch was appointed intern to the Austro-Hungarian Hospital in Galata to attend the women's ward. During the Balkan Wars of 1912-13 the hospital housed the wounded of the Turkish Army in its Pancaldi premises, and Amália Frisch received medals of merit for her services both from the Habsburg Emperor Franz Josef and the Ottoman Sultan Mehmed Reschad V. Amália Frisch was an active member of the Ottoman Society for the Protection of Women's Rights (est. 1913). She was deported by the French occupation command in 1919 and returned to Budapest, after which she altered her profession to stomatology and dentistry. Amália Frisch passed away in Budapest during war, in 1941.
