Abstract
This article explores the life of Dr. Margaret F. Butler and her many contributions to the field of otolaryngology. Dr. Butler not only served as the first female chair of an otolaryngology department at the Woman's Medical College of Pennsylvania but her mentorship of other physicians also helped support early efforts to promote gender diversity in the specialty of otolaryngology. Using autobiographical material including Dr. Butler's writings and speeches, many housed in The Legacy Center Archives and Special Collections at Drexel University College of Medicine, we explore the legacy of Margaret F. Butler to provide a perspective on women in otolaryngology.
