A great loss': tributes pour in for pioneering PNG female doctor who died from Covid". The Guardian. 27 September 2021 . Retrieved 28 October 2021. Throughout the decade women's ideas about themselves and their relation to the medical field were shifting due to the women's feminist movement. [32] A sharp increase of women in the medical field led to developments in doctor-patient relationships, changes in terminology and theory. [32] One area of medical practice that was challenged and changed was gynecology. [32] Author Wendy Kline noted that "to ensure that young brides were ready for the wedding night, [doctors] used the pelvic exam as a form of sex instruction." [33]

She graduated from Zurich University in 1879 [79] With higher numbers of women enrolled in medical school, medical practices like gynecology were challenged and subsequently altered. [34] In 1972, the University of Iowa Medical School instituted a new training program for pelvic and breast examinations. [34] Students would act both as the doctor and the patient, allowing each student to understand the procedure and create a more gentle, respectful examination. [34] With changes in ideologies and practices throughout the 70s, by 1980 over 75 schools had adopted this new method.

Salomée Halpir (1718 – after 1763) was a Polish medic and oculist who is often referred to as the first female doctor from the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. Biomedical research and academic medical professions—i.e., faculty at medical schools—are also disproportionately male. Research on this issue, called the "leaky pipeline" by the National Institutes of Health and other researchers, shows that while women have achieved parity with men in entering graduate school, a variety of discrimination causes them to drop out at each stage in the academic pipeline: graduate school, postdoc, faculty positions, achieving tenure; and, ultimately, in receiving recognition for groundbreaking work.

Alice Mary Barry (1880–1955) was a doctor and the first woman nominated fellow of the Royal College of Physicians of Ireland. Paul-Martin Bondois: La Première maîtresse-dentiste, Madeleine-Françoise Calais: par P.-M. Bondois, 1928 Along with women entering the medical field and feminist rights movement, came along the women's health movement which sought alternative methods of health care for women. This came through the creation of self-help books, most notably Our Bodies, Ourselves: A Book by and for Women. [35] This book gave women a "manual" to help understand their body. It challenged hospital treatment, and doctors' practices. [35] Aside from self-help books, many help centres were opened: birth centres run by midwives, safe abortion centres, and classes for educating women on their bodies, all with the aim of providing non-judgmental care for women. [36] The women's health movement, along with women involved in the medical field, opened the doors for research and awareness for female illness like breast cancer and cervical cancer. [36] Don't just randomly pull a doctor's name off your health insurance list. Get a referral from a friend, family member, or your primary care provider. Usually, your primary care provider can manage most screening procedures and will have a good referral resource if a specialist is needed.
