Despite major gains for women over the past 90 years, there is still one major area in which women regularly face unequal and unfair treatment: medicine. Women are in the minority among top decisions and policy makers in the field. As such, funding for the research and publication of work by and for women is hard to find, affecting the treatment, safety and availability of care for all Americans. On a national level, the dearth of women leaders in organized medicine skews the way our elected offices are informed and advised on healthcare issues and healthcare delivery. From harassment in the workplace to rampant misdiagnoses, women face increasingly difficult and potentially lethal challenges in healthcare.
