Women in Medicine ‐ Women's Developing Identity

Abstract

Women's identity in medicine has always been in existence within the home and community. Recognition of this needs to be developed. The changing and fluctuating position of women in medicine, from medicine as the prerogative of women to claims that women herbalists were witches, is discussed. Throughout history women's identity in medicine is complex and multidimensional and has never been static.
