The first female academicians in Turkish veterinary education

Abstract

Although women in Turkey were first given the opportunity to attend schools of higher education in 1914, the number of female students in higher education increased rapidly through socio-economic and cultural reforms, which were carried out following the establishment of the Turkish Republic in 1923. Merver Ansel, who graduated from the Veterinary School in Ankara in 1935, became the first female veterinarian in Turkey. In 1938, Abide Koray was appointed as research assistant at the Institute of Internal Diseases of this School thus, women have taken place in academic life. With this study, which was aimed at providing data on the first female academicians in Turkish veterinary education, 19 brief biographies were prepared by using archival documents, memoirs, oral sources and 16 photos have been reached. The biographies revealed that females started their academic career in veterinary medicine three years after the first woman graduated from the veterinary school in 1935. It was also determined that almost all female academicians carried out their academic careers in basic and pre-clinical sciences since 1947 and 1950 respectively; but after Koray (1938), the second woman academician could begin her career in clinical sciences in 1984
