Hélène Michel-Wolfromm was a French gynecologist known for her work on the sexual problems encountered by French women.

Early life and education

Michel-Wolfromm was born in Paris on December 4, 1914 and died on April 5, 1969[1] from lung cancer.[2] She studied medicine with a focus in gynecology in Paris and graduated in 1938.[3] Michel-Wolfromm was the first in France to apply psychosomatic medicine to the field of gynecology.[4][5] She focused on sexology and a psychosomatic approach to gynecological problems.[6] She also spoke with the press about sexual problems experienced by women.[7] She talked about sexuality as 'that thing' when talking to her patients,[8] and considered female mental instability a fear of aging.[9] The female patients she saw were referred to her by other doctors who no longer wished to treat them.[2] In her later years she defended the right of women to obtain birth control.[10]

After her death in 1969, an obituary by Raoul Palmer was published in Gynécologie et Obstétrique,[11] and second obituary appeared in La Presse Médicale.[12]
