Lee Sun Chau

Lee Sun Chau (周理信, i.e., 周六姑, 1890-1979) was one of the first female Chinese doctors of Western Medicine in China.[1] She was an alumna of Belilios Public School.[2][3] In the late 1910s she graduated from Hackett Medical College for Women, and she then worked as a staff physician at the David Gregg Hospital for Women and Children (also known as Yuji Hospital 柔濟醫院) [4][5] in Guangzhou, China.[6]

Lee Sun Chau's daughter Rebecca Chan Chung served as a nurse with the China National Aviation Corporation, Flying Tigers, and the U.S. Army during World War II.[1]

Deborah Chung dedicated her book Carbon Fiber Composites (2012) "[t]o the memory of my maternal grandmother, Lee Sun Chau, M.D. (1890—1979)".[7]
