women doctors, feminization of medicine, history of women, emancipationAbstract
Until the Late Middle Ages women worked autonomously as healers and were the only medical support for women (as midwives) and the poorer social strata. However, they completely lost this position in the Early Modern Period. It was only in the second half of the 19th century that women began to enter medical faculties. Gradually, they entered all fields of medicine, so that today there are hardly any medical subspecialties not co-created by women. The main part of the article presents the main characteristics and particularities of the position of women in Slovene medicine over the past 100 years.
