(Accessrestrict)","Born August 17, 1942, Florence Pat Haseltine grew up, the eldest of four children, on the China Lake Naval Base in the Mojave Desert in California, where her father was a physicist.  In 1960 she entered the University of California at Berkeley, where she majored in biophysics.  She married a fellow biophysicist in their senior year and together they entered Massachusetts Institute of Technology graduate school. She earned her Ph.D. in biophysics in 1969.  The marriage failed and immediately Haseltine applied to medical school.  She entered Albert Einstein School of Medicine in 1969, where she began her involvement in the women’s movement.  She completed her medical studies in 1972.  Her final year was spent at the University of Pennsylvania when her second husband, Alan Chodos, a physicist whom she had married in 1970, found employment in Philadelphia.  She interned at the University of Pennsylvania, where her experiences formed the basis of her 1976 novel, Woman Doctor.  When her husband’s work took them back to Boston, she undertook her Obstetrics and Gynecology residency at the Boston Hospital for Women, where she began her lifelong commitment to women’s health by setting up a feminist health center.   \n\nIn 1976 Haseltine was hired as an Assistant Professor in Obstetrics and Gynecology, and later in 1982 as an Associate Professor, Obstetrics and Gynecology and Pediatrics at the Yale School of Medicine, where she pursued clinical research on in vitro fertilization. While at Yale, she undertook a year of training at the Yale School of Organization and Management. Having failed to be awarded tenure at Yale, she became director of the Center for Population Research at the National Institutes of Child Health and Human Development at the National Institutes of Health.  She commuted for many years between Washington, D.C. and New Haven, CT, where her husband, who was teaching in the Yale Physics Department, and their two daughters lived.  \n\nIn 1990 she was a founding member of the Society for the Advancement of Women’s Health Research, which brought the issue of women’s health to the national research agenda, successfully advocating for the inclusion of women in critical clinical trials.  She has been the editor-in-chief of the Journal of Women’s Health since 1992, and she edited a comprehensive report, Women’s Health Research: a Medical and Policy Primer  (Society for the Advancement of Women’s Health Research, 1997).  She has edited and authored many books and articles on reproductive medicine and women’s health.  In recent years she has extended her interest to include the health of women with disabilities.  This resulted in Welner’s Guide to the Care of Women with Disabilities, edited by Sandra L. Welner and Florence Haseltine (Lippincott, 2004).   Dr. Haseltine founded Haseltine Systems Corporation in 1995, a company which designs products for people with disabilities. One of her designs is the Haseltine Flyer, a portable protective container for wheelchairs to allow wheelchair users to travel more easily.  Together with Stephanie Pincus, Florence Haseltine established the RAISE Project, a national awards clearinghouse dedicated to recognizing the achievements of women in science, medicine and engineering.\n \nFlorence Haseltine’s work on behalf of women’s health research earned her a Kilby Laureate Award in 1998 and many other accolades including election to the Institute of Medicine. She was named as a Weizman Honored Scientist and a Kass Lecturer, and honored by the American Health for Women Magazine, Prevention Magazine and the Ladies Home Journal. (Bioghist)","Florence Haseltine discusses her reasons for accepting a position at Yale, and the extent to which gender was an issue in hiring and retention of women at the Yale School of Medicine in the 1970s, a theme to which she regularly returns throughout her interview.  She discusses at length the challenges, including salary discrepancies and other forms of discrimination, and the rewards of being a woman in an almost exclusively male environment, whether in the laboratory or at Yale-New Haven Hospital.  In particular she reviews how the experience of pregnancy and motherhood impinged on her personal and professional life, and how it inspired her to lobby for daycare facilities at the medical school.  She recalls how she taught the first college seminar at Branford College on women in medicine, and pays tribute to the women scientists she encountered at Yale, speculating about what price they may have paid for their professional success.  She talks extensively about mentoring and what role gender plays in how mentoring is conducted, recollecting her own experience of “mentors and tormentors,” as she describes them.  Dr Haseltine discusses gender as an issue in the 1979 Felig plagiarism case.  She talks about workplace politics in medicine and science at Yale and beyond, and the ways in which women can be excluded from executive roles, one of the reasons she took a year out to study at the Yale School of Management.  She recalls her failure to secure tenure at Yale, and her reasons for accepting a position at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) rather than seeking a tenured position at another university.  She talks extensively about her work at the NIH, especially proposals and initiatives she undertook that specifically benefited women in the sciences.  She concludes her interview by discussing the growing role of women in science and medicine, and by outlining what she believes are the institutional changes that must be made in order to achieve gender parity.\n\nNote: Florence Haseltine was also interviewed in 1977 for the Oral History Project on Women in Medicine at the Medical College of Pennsylvania, now Drexel University College of Medicine (http://archives.drexelmed.edu/womanmd).  The interview focuses on her life up to the time she was appointed at Yale.
