Dr. Selma Calmes (b. 1940) began her career in anesthesiology in the 1960s, when there were few women in the specialty and women physicians were expected to choose between having a career or raising a family. To do both, she has drawn inspiration from the experiences of other women in medicine and is one of the founders of the Anesthesia History Association.
