title: A woman in medicine. From the 1940s to the 1990s. A personal saga.
abstract: The past 50 years through which I have lived as a woman in medicine have been an exciting time. Women in medicine have increased from a small minority to sizeable numbers. It remains for women in medicine to become more active in organizations and to assume more leadership roles. The current leadership of the Medical Society of Virginia is a step in that direction.
