Dr. Dorothea Christiane Erxleben

Dorothea Christiane Erxleben née Leporin (13 November 1715, Quedlinburg – 13 June 1762 in Quedlinburg) was the first female medical doctor in Germany.

Erxleben was instructed in medicine by her father from an early age.[2] The Italian scientist Laura Bassi's university professorship inspired Erxleben to fight for her right to practise medicine. In 1742 she published a tract arguing that women should be allowed to attend university. In 1754, She was the first German woman to receive a PhD.

After being admitted to study by a dispensation of Frederick the Great,[2] Erxleben received her M.D. from the University of Halle in 1754 She went on to analyse the obstacles preventing women from studying, among them housekeeping and children.
