Elizabeth Ann Karlin (March 3, 1944 – July 27, 1998) was an American doctor of internal medicine and women's health as well a leading advocate for women's reproductive rights.[1] By mentoring the founders of Medical Students for Choice, Karlin helped clinicians to provide women with comprehensive care, including timely access to abortion. Originally from New York City, Karlin worked for a short time in Tanzania, where her husband Steven Feierman was engaging in research, before returning to her home in Madison, Wisconsin where she worked throughout the duration of her career.[2] Through her work with abortion access, Karlin was recognized for her work commitment to serving women and her pro-choice stance.[2]
