Discover the many ways that women have influenced and enhanced the practice of medicine. The individuals featured in this exhibit provide an intriguing glimpse of the broader community of women doctors who are making a difference. The University of Washington and Health Sciences Libraries are pleased to present this exhibition from the National Library of Medicine honoring the lives and accomplishments of these women in the hope of inspiring a new generation of medical pioneers.

Whether they are working in small rural practices or at the highest levels of government, women physicians are introducing new ways to promote health and well-being, balance family life and other interests with a career in medicine, and improve the way that medicine is taught and practiced. Their influence reaches across the profession and out into our lives, helping to redefine women's roles and society's responsibilities. By changing the face of medicine, women physicians are changing our world.
