Stèphanie de Montaneis was a mid-13th century physician in Lyons.[1]
The 13th century was a time which proved difficult for any women trying to enter the medical field through a traditional system of education. Some women reached this field only if it was a family business. Stèphanie de Montaneis’ father, Étienne de Montaneis, was a physician in Lyons and it is more than likely that she received her training from him. In 1265 she was referred to by the term medica.[1]
Stèphanie de Montaneis' name is included on the tiles of the Heritage Floor of Judy Chicago's art installation The Dinner Party.[2]
