Abstract
During much of the Twentieth Century, public accounting was considered to be a man's profession. Few women had the fortitude or opportunity to challenge the system which generally discriminated against their practice of public accounting. Several papers have identified women pioneers in accountancy and others have documented the difficulties women faced in becoming Certified Public Accountants (CPA) and practicing professionally. Most of these papers have said a little or nothing of Lena E. Mendelsohn, although she is referred to by Meyers and Koval (1994) as ...a woman pioneer in the professional accounting field,...a well-known CPA in Boston. (p. 29) Other than a few references to her in the literature, little is known about Mendelsohn.
