Re: [Cz-L] Education of Jewish woman in Czernowitz

Among Jewish women born in Czernowitz before WW1,
it was not very common to attain a Ph.d, but I know of
a number of women who studied medicine and then practiced
either in Czernowitz or abroad. For instance: Dr. Rosa Samet,
Dr. Kimmelmann and Dr. Rosa Rinzler.
