Born Serafima Semyonovna Sidorova, Serafima Bryusova (31 December 1894 - 1958 in Moscow) was one of the world's first female neurosurgeons, and played a major role in the formation of Russian neurosurgery.[1][2] She was both a medical doctor and Doctor of Philosophy, and spent much of her life doing research and making advances in the field of neurosurgery. Bryusova is one of the first four females that practiced neurosurgery around the world, and possibly the world’s first female neurosurgeon. Most likely due to the Cold War, Bryusova’s work is largely unknown and unappreciated.[3]
