Brooklyn, New York, 1952. I described earlier—here and here—how some doubted Mom's medical training. Mom hired a lawyer to expedite receipt of her medical-school paperwork. Here's the transcript the university supplied when Mom applied for an Illinois license.

I think they first tried to put "lady physician" (sounds more elegant than woman doctor) and then tried to wedge ion the specific degree.
The husband of a co-worker had the same problem getting HR to accept his credentials in math and computer science. Considering he was Russian and the rep Russians have for rigorous training in STEM fields, it always struck me as silly to be so obstinate.
