Dorothea Christiane Erxleben's 300th Birthday
Throughout her life, Dorothea Christiane Erxleben advocated
for women's rights and maintained the unwavering conviction that women
should be allowed to—and ought to—pursue an education.
After receiving a
dispensation from Frederick the Great, Erxleben earned her M.D. from
University of Halle in 1754, the first woman in Germany’s history to do
so!
Happy 300th birthday, Dr. Erxleben!
