Summary:

Since ancient times, women have played a critical, if largely unheralded, role in advancing the medical arts and sciences. Women in Medicine: An Encyclopedia portrays the struggles, the accomplishments, and the inspiring careers of more than 250 of history's great healers and medical researchers. Written by a reference librarian, the volume documents previously unknown stories of women in medicine from around the world and throughout history. Women in Medicine includes entries on the key universities, institutes, and foundations that helped shape the illustrious history of women's contributions to medicine. Full of illustrations and complete with an extensive bibliography and index, this encyclopedia is the most comprehensive and accessible reference work on the history of women in medicine.
