纪念 Tawhida Ben Cheikh

Today’s Doodle celebrates the Tunisian physician, magazine editor, and social activist Tawhida Ben Cheikh, widely credited as the first female physician in Tunisia. A feminist pioneer both in and out of the medical field, Ben Cheikh helped transform Tunisian medicine by providing women better access to contemporary healthcare. On this day in 2020, the Tunisian government issued a new 10-dinar note emblazoned with Ben Cheikh’s portrait—the world’s first ever banknote to feature a female doctor.

Tawhida Ben Cheikh was born on January 2, 1909 in Tunis, the present-day capital of Tunisia, at the time a French protectorate. Supported by her mother, in 1928 she became the first Tunisian female to graduate secondary school, but she didn’t stop there. In a break from traditional expectations of women, she went on to earn her medical degree in Paris in 1936 at the age of 27.    

Upon her return to Tunis that year, Ben Cheikh made history when she opened her own free medical practice. With primary specialties in gynecology and obstetrics, she went on to become the head of the maternity department of the city’s Charles-Nicolle hospital in 1955. Then in the ‘70s, she founded Tunisia’s first family planning clinic. Ben Cheikh also contributed to numerous women’s organizations and founded Leïla, the country’s first French-language women’s magazine.

Here’s to a medical trailblazer who made huge strides for gender equality in Tunisia and beyond.

Tawhida Ben Cheikh于1909年1月2日出生于突尼斯，即今天的突尼斯首都，当时是法国的保护国。 1928年，在母亲的支持下，她成为突尼斯第一位中学毕业的女性，但她并没有就此止步。与传统上对女性的期望不同，她于1936年在巴黎获得医学学位，享年27岁。

当年她回到突尼斯时，本·谢赫（Ben Cheikh）开设了自己的免费医疗诊所，从而创造了历史。她主要从事妇科和妇产科工作，于1955年成为该市查尔斯·尼科勒医院妇产科主任。然后在70年代，她成立了突尼斯的第一家计划生育诊所。本·谢赫（Ben Cheikh）还为众多妇女组织做出了贡献，并创立了该国第一本法语女性杂志《莱拉》。

这是一位医疗开拓者，他在突尼斯及其他地区为实现性别平等取得了长足的进步。
