Abstract
We commemorate and celebrate the historic careers and the medical and dermatologic contributions of seven distinguished European and Canadian Jewish women who were pioneers in dermatology. Although there may be other notable women, we have selected these dermatologists as examples of courage and determination. Each struggled to overcome professional barriers to women in medicine, and all had experienced antisemitism, especially those who fell under Nazi rule. We honor their achievements: Lili Farkas (1899-1992), Vera Shukhman (1900-1987), Stefania Jablonska (1920-2017), Halina Szenicer-Rotstein (1907-1942), Fanny Cohn (1899-1990), Marie Caroline Kaufmann-Wolf (1877-1922), and Rickey Kanee Schachter (1918-2007).
