Abstract:
Second wave feminist legal and educational reform contributed to the fourfold rise in the number of women doctors in the United States between 1970 and 1990, challenging the hierarchical medical workplace from within. At the same moment, the feminist women\'s health movement (FWHM) identified and protested gendered health disparities, changing medical practice from without. This article analyses five women doctors\' autobiographical reflections of medical training published between 1976 and 1987, during this period of gendered upheaval. In these works, authors shared their experiences of entering a male-dominated profession, addressing second wave feminist concerns about women\'s workplace equality. They explored whether women could become full and equal members of the medical professional, but also how women should become members of a profession that mistreated female patients in ways the FWHM sought to address. Through autobiographical writing, women doctors shared experiences that amplified these reform imperatives, while reflecting on their position as agents within an unequal healthcare system.
摘要:
第二波女权主义法律和教育改革促使1970年至1990年间美国女医生人数增加了四倍,从内部挑战了分级医疗工作场所。同时,女权主义妇女健康运动(FWHM)确定和抗议性别健康差异,改变医疗实践。本文分析了1976年至1987年期间性别动荡时期的五名女医生对医学培训的自传反思。在这些作品中,作者分享了他们进入男性主导职业的经历,解决第二波女权主义者对女性工作场所平等的担忧。他们探讨了妇女是否可以成为医学专业的正式和平等成员,以及女性应该如何成为FWHM试图解决的虐待女性患者的职业成员。通过自传写作,女医生分享了放大这些改革必要性的经验,同时反思他们在不平等的医疗保健系统中作为代理人的地位。
