Angeliki Panajiotatou (1875 or 1878 – 1954)[1] was a Greek physician and microbiologist.[2]

Life

Born in Greece, Panajiotatou and her sister were the first two female students to be accepted in the medical school at Athens University. After she completed further studies in Germany, she returned to Athens University as a lecturer. The students protested[3] and refused to attend her classes because she was a woman, so she was forced to resign. She moved to Egypt, where she became a professor in microbiology at Cairo University specializing in tropical diseases and director of the Alexandria general hospital. In 1938, she returned to Greece and was named a professor at the Athens University medical school.[4]
