Dora Teleky

Dora Teleky (born July 5, 1879 in Hinterbrühl , Lower Austria , † April 19, 1963 in Stäfa , Canton of Zurich ) was an Austrian gynecologist and urologist. In 1911 she was the first woman to be accepted into the German Society for Urology (DGU).

Life

Dora Brücke-Teleky came from a Jewish family. Her father, Hermann Teleky (1837–1921), was a general practitioner in Vienna. Her older brother, Ludwig Teleky , is considered a pioneer in occupational and social medicine. From 1930 she was married to the neurophysiologist Ernst Theodor von Brücke (1880–1941).

In 1899 Dora Teleky enrolled at the Philosophical Faculty of the University of Vienna , but her schedule was heavily geared towards studying medicine. At the same time, she and her two siblings sought to leave Judaism , which might have something to do with the discrimination in professional terms. As an early follower of Sigmund Freud , she was one of the three listeners who attended his lecture around 1900 and was the first woman to register for Freud's courses in 1903/04. After the medical faculty was also opened to women in the winter semester 1900/1901, Dora Teleky changed her subject and officially studied medicine in Vienna and in Strasbourg / Alsace. On December 21, 1904, she received her doctorate in Vienna. This was followed by a clinical training period until 1905 in the Pathological - Anatomical Institute at the Vienna General Hospital under Anton Weichselbaum and then until 1907 at the I. Surgical University Clinic under Anton von Eiselsberg . The special gynecological training took place from 1907 to 1911 at the II. University Women's Clinic under Rudolf Chrobak , Alfons von Rosthorn and Ernst Wertheim . 1911–1914 she completed her urological training at the Rothschild Hospital in Vienna under Otto Zuckerkandl (1861–1921).

In 1911 she became the first woman to become a member of the German Society for Urology (DGU) and gave a lecture on urogynecology at the 3rd Congress in the same year. In 1920 she became a member of the newly founded Vienna Urological Society . In addition to her activities in the specialist political organizations and her practice, which was run from 1920, she also worked as the first Viennese school doctor for four commercial girls' advanced training schools from 1910 to 1934 and as head of the pregnancy welfare office from 1919. In addition, Dora Teleky founded the Organization of Doctors in Vienna in 1919 and was its chairman for ten years. She was also the corresponding secretary of the International Association of Women Doctors . The International Association of doctors or Medical Women's International Association (MWIA) was founded in 1919 in New York. As a representative of the Austrian doctors, Dora Brücke-Teleky participated in 1931, together with the Viennese doctor Frida Becher von Rüdenhof and the president of the Organization of Women Doctors in Vienna, Marianne Bauer-Jokl (1885–1980), at the 4th International Congress of Women Doctors in Vienna, and in 1934 participated in the 7th International Congress of Women Doctors in Stockholm.

After Austria's annexation in 1938, Dora Teleky decided to emigrate and followed her husband Ernst von Brücke to America via Milan in August 1938. Their furniture, the scientific library and the medical instruments were auctioned off at Weinmüller in November 1939. Ernst von Brücke was offered a course at Harvard Medical School and Dora Teleky was licensed as a gynecologist for the state of Massachusetts. She worked as a doctor in Boston until 1950 and returned to Europe after her retirement, where she settled near her sister near Zurich.
