Dagmar Berne
Dagmar Berne (c. 1865 – 22 August 1900) was an Australian medical doctor and the first female student to study medicine in Australia.
==Early years and education==
Berne was born in New South Wales around 1865, the eldest daughter among eight siblings. Her father, who was a migrant to Australia from Denmark, died when Berne was young, attempting to save a drowning man in the Bega River but drowning himself. Her mother's second husband, a pastoralist, died when Berne was a teenager, prompting the family to move to Sydney.
Berne's mother intended to give all her children a good education, and so Berne was enrolled in the Springfield Ladies' College in Potts Point. Unsatisfied with the subjects on offer – highlights included needlework, deportment and dancing – Berne persuaded her mother to arrange private tutoring,〔 and so left school at the age of seventeen to study chemistry privately.
Berne sat the university entrance exams the following year, and originally thought she had failed, and so decided to set up a private school for girls, to be run by herself and her sixteen-year-old sister Florence. The sisters found premises in the southern suburb of Tempe, prepared materials and interviewed families of prospective students, before Berne unexpectedly was informed that she had passed the entrance exams, and had been admitted to study at the University of Sydney, just days before the school was scheduled to open. Florence Berne continued without her elder sister, and taught a school of six students, including two of the younger Berne sisters.〔
