From Marie Curie, the most famous, to Augusta Klumpke, via Margaret Buckley, we invite you to discover the women, often forgotten, who are nevertheless part of the history of Medicine. In patriarchal societies that did not look favorably on women’s interest in medicine, some had to disguise themselves as men to pursue their passion, while others were called witches.
Who are these women whose stories we know too little regarding? How have they managed, over the decades, to find their place in a world that was until then exclusively masculine? What medical advances have they contributed to?
- Professor Jean-Noël Fabiani-Salmon, co-director of teaching the history of Medicine at the Faculty of Medicine Paris-Cité. Former head of the cardiovascular surgery department at the Georges-Pompidou European Hospital. Author of the work The sisters of Hippocrates. These women who made the history of medicine, published by Les Arènes and “ 30 New Unusual Stories that made medicine », at Plon.
- Laurence Plévert, winner of the History of Medicine Prize awarded by the Academy of Medicine for her work Augusta Klumpke, medical pioneer, published by Éditions Les Pérégrines.
