Women in medical profession on the way to recognision

Abstract

The position of women in society has been considered as a challenge for a long time. They have been trying to solve it in all spheres of life - economics, culture, various sciences, and, of course, in medicine. We would like to highlight this topic in a narrower direction, namely, what a long way a woman has gone in the difficult profession of a doctor. Analysis of the current achievements (or letdowns) can not be started without studying the past situation of women. Sometimes it is hard to believe how high a woman could be, and yet how low in another era. Now when we come to medical institutions, we meet a huge number of women doctors and hardly realize that it could be difficult to imagine at the first half of the XX century. Now women are actively involved in performing the most complex operations, research, they occupy the highest positions all over the world. The purpose of this report is to study the issue of gender differences in medicine, and to draw public attention to some key results obtained.
