ABSTRACT
Kristine Mann was fourteen years Eleanor Bertine’s senior and both were born in the eastern United States. In the meantime, one of the young women whom she had taught at Vassar, Bertine, graduated summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa from that college. Bertine announced to her parents that she intended to go to medical school, and they begged her to reconsider; medicine was not considered a fit career for a woman in those times. Meanwhile, Bertine did an internship at Bellevue Hospital in New York and was interested in psychology from the beginning. After the First World War, Bertine played a key role in putting together a program for an international conference for women physicians for the War Work Council of the YWCA. Dr. Beatrice Hinkle thereby launched C. G. Jung’s American reputation and was instrumental in making him available to many English-speaking people who otherwise would not have had access to his work.
