“Pololi argues that academic medicine’s culture marginalizes women faculty and is a barrier to the fulfillment of its mission. . . . This book is important for medical historians, policy makers, and educators as well as students. Recommended.”—Choice
“The author feels that participation of diverse voices, including women, men, and minorities, will create a more transparent and less hierarchical organization in academic medicine. The deficiencies and discrepancies experienced by women physicians are highlighted and solutions offered to improve the current environment for medical students, residents, and faculty regardless of sex, race, or ethnicity. Understanding the experience of women can hopefully improve the academic medical system for all physicians and ultimately improve patient care.”—JAMA, Journal of the American Medical Association
