Timeline

1948

Susan Margaret Love (February 9, 1948 – July 2, 2023) was an American surgeon, a prominent advocate of preventive breast cancer research, and author.

She was regarded as one of the most respected women's health specialists in the United States.

Love is best known for pioneering work fueled by her criticism of the medical establishment's paternalistic treatment of women.

She was an early advocate of cancer surgery that conserves as much breast tissue as possible.

She also was among the first to sound the alarm on the risks of routine hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for menopausal women.

Susan Margaret Love was born in Little Silver, New Jersey, on February 9, 1948.

She lived in Mexico and Puerto Rico as a child, as a result of her father's work as an industrial salesman.

Love enrolled at Fordham University after having spent five unsuccessful months at the School Sisters of Notre Dame.

1974

Love received her medical degree from SUNY Downstate Medical School cum laude in 1974 and did her surgical residency at Boston's Beth Israel Medical Center.

She also graduated from the Executive MBA program at the UCLA Anderson School of Management.

Love came out as lesbian early in her career, at a time when such a revelation could carry "grave professional and personal risks".

She later fought to expand the rights of same-sex couples as parents.

1988

Love completed her surgical training at Boston's Beth Israel Hospital, and in 1988 was recruited to found the Faulkner Breast Center at Faulkner Hospital, with comprehensive care that allowed patients to see teams composed of radiation therapists, oncologists and surgeons.

1993

1996

In 1996, she retired from the active practice of surgery to dedicate her time to finding the cause for breast cancer.

According to The New York Times, Love sought "not so much to cure the disease as to vanquish it altogether by isolating its causes and pre-empting them at a cellular level".

1998

In 1998, Love earned a business degree from the Executive MBA program at UCLA's Anderson School.

She was appointed by President Clinton to the National Cancer Advisory Board, a position she held from 1998 to 2004.
