Abstract
On May 27, 1936, May Owen, MD, answered a scientific riddle in a speech before the Texas Medical Association, explaining research that would soon make her a statewide celebrity. Dr. Owen's pioneering work continued in the decades to come, making her the first female president of the Texas Society of Pathologists in 1946, the first female president of the Tarrant County Medical Society in 1947, and the first female president of TMA in 1960.
1936年5月27日,医学博士梅·欧文(May Owen)在德克萨斯州医学协会(Texas Medical Association)的一次演讲中回答了一个科学谜题,她解释的研究很快使她成为全州的名人。欧文博士的开创性工作在接下来的几十年里一直在继续,使她在1946年成为德克萨斯病理学家协会的第一位女主席,1947年成为塔兰特县医学协会的第一位女主席,1960年成为TMA的第一位女主席。
