Publisher's Synopsis

The book deals primarily with the role of women physicians in American society, from the first 19th century figures to the present day. Morantz-Sanchez discusses the reasons for the lack of women doctors throughout the 20th Century until the 1960s and describes the changed conditions in recent years, when over a third of all medical school students are women. This is a broad social and institutional history of an important aspect of women's history in America.
