Dora Teleky (1879/81-1963) was one of the first female Physicians in Austria and the first woman, who was member of the old Deutsche Gesellschaft far Urologie (German Society of Urology). She was a specialist for gynaecology with great interest in urology, what was reflected in her scientific publications. Furthermore she tried to strengthen the women%26apos;s position in the male-dominated medicine. In 1939 she emigrated to the USA, because as a Jewish descendant she was pursued after the Austrian %26quot;Anschluss%26quot; to Germany (Austria%26apos;s annexation to the German %26quot;Third Reich%26quot;). There she continued working as specialist for gynaecology. After she had retired, she came back to Europe and died 1963 in Switzerland.
