SYNOPSIS
The name of Fanny Medina and her story have remained in anonymity for over 70 years. She was one of the first Andalusian women to complete a university degree. Graduated in Medicine from the University of Cádiz and driven by the dream of practicing her profession, Fanny’s life was full of challenges. She faced not only the Civil War but also all the conventions and moral standards of her time, which dictated that a woman’s life should be dedicated to the home.
Committed to women’s rights and social justice, and driven by her quest to find a cure for cancer, Fanny also contributed to scientific progress through pioneering research on radium, and even ran her own medical practice. Unjustly forgotten, it is now time to remember the story of the first woman to practice medicine professionally in Andalusia.
