- Käte Frankenthal ([ˈkɛtə ˈfʁaŋkŋ̍ˌtaːl]; 30 January 1889 – 21 April 1976) was a German physician and politician. After receiving a doctorate in 1914, she worked at a hospital in Berlin, before leaving to become a doctor in a small town. After the outbreak of World War I, Frankenthal attempted to enlist in the German Army as a doctor, but was rejected due to her gender. She subsequently joined the Austro-Hungarian Army, where she served in the Carpathian Mountains and on the Balkan front. After the war she worked at the Charité hospital, but was dismissed to make room for male veterans. In addition to her work in medicine, Frankenthal was active in politics as a member of the Social Democratic Party of Germany. From 1925 to 1931 she served on the Berlin City Council, and in 1930 was elected to the Prussian Landtag. In 1931 she joined the Socialist Workers' Party of Germany, and briefly held a leadership role in the party. Following the ascension of Adolf Hitler, Frankenthal fled Germany, eventually settling in New York City in the United States. While in New York she penned an essay about her experiences as a Jew and a political activist in Germany, and worked with a New York-based, Germany-focused advocacy organization, the Council for a Democratic Germany. Although she traveled to Germany after the war, and was honored by the city of Berlin in 1974, she remained a resident of New York for the remainder of her life. (en)
