Dr. Anna Dengel was one of the first female doctors in Tyrol and founder of the Order of Missionary Sisters. She was born on 16 March 1892 in Steeg im Lechtal. After graduating from the Ursulines in Innsbruck, she went to Ireland in the fall of 1913, which was then under the British crown, and studied medicine at the University of Cork. She graduated in 1919 and went to Rawalpindi in India, where she worked as a lay doctor and was particularly involved in obstetrics. When she spent a home leave in Innsbruck in 1924, she came up with the idea of ​​founding a religious congregation with missionary orientation. After initial church resistance, she was able to set up on 30 September 1925 in a small house on the outskirts of Washington DC, the community of Missionary Sisters. Today, its order has 700 members from 22 nations, including around 70 female doctors.
