Abstract
In a male-dominated professional specialty, it is important to shine a light on the female pioneers in orthopaedics who have been the first of their kind in Britain. From Garrett Anderson to Clare Marx, these women have left a legacy contributing not only to the techniques and equipment used in surgery today but, by breaking through glass ceilings, have encouraged a change in the gender perception of orthopaedics. In an evolving profession, we celebrate these successful women and the incredible lengths they have gone to, in challenging the status quo and diversity issues. This article aims to highlight some of these role models, who may not thus far have received the recognition they deserve, and to encourage us to learn from their legacy to create a more inclusive culture in medicine.
期刊介绍：
Orthopaedics and Trauma presents a unique collection of International review articles summarizing the current state of knowledge and research in orthopaedics. Each issue focuses on a specific topic, discussed in depth in a mini-symposium; other articles cover the areas of basic science, medicine, children/adults, trauma, imaging and historical review. There is also an annotation, self-assessment questions and a second opinion section. In this way the entire postgraduate syllabus will be covered in a 4-year cycle.
