Hope Bridges Adams Lehmann (16 December 1855 – 10 October 1916) was the first female general practitioner and gynecologist in Munich, Germany.
She also became involved as a peace activist and took one for the equality of women. She was the first woman to obtain a medical diploma in 1880 but had to wait until 1904 to have it acknowledged. She opened a surgery with her husband, Otto Walther. She later created a sanatorium in the Bavarian mountains for people suffering from tuberculosis. Finally she divorced and moved to Munich.
Hope Adams was the only daughter of William Bridges Adams and his third wife, Ellen Kendall Adams.
