Dr. Fanny Berlin (1852-1921) traveled from her home in Ukraine to medical school in Switzerland, one of the few medical schools that would accept women at the time. She emigrated to the United States right after graduating and worked at the New England Hospital for Women and Children, one of the few hospitals who treated immigrant women.
