The world is full of inspiring women, both past and present, who made a difference through their actions, their convictions, and their words. Some of them we know well; others have worked quietly with little notice, but they all have something important to teach us. They show us that we can influence others, care for those in need, crush all barriers, and find success despite all odds. These women use their hearts, minds, and hands to change the world and make it a better place. This is a 100-day challenge to write about one of these amazing women (hopefully) every day and to be inspired to follow her example. Because even if our names are never written in history or we are never praised for our actions, there are so many little ways we can make a difference in the lives of others, whether it’s a kind word to a stranger, a helping hand to a friend, or just a change in our own attitudes. Come and join me on this journey and see what we can learn.

Hey I love your blog. Did you know about Frances K. Conley? I read her book, but here’s what wikipedia writes about her: “the first woman to pursue a surgical internship at Stanford Hospital”… “the first female faculty member at Stanford in any surgical department”… “the fifth woman to become a board certified neurosurgeon in the United States”… “the first woman to be granted a tenured professorship in neurosurgery at a U.S. medical school”…”the first to have a full professorship”. Not to mention how she resigned as a protest against sexist attitudes within her faculty, wrote a book to denounce it “Walking Out On the Boys” and then… re-became tenured at Stanford?

Another really inspiring women in medicine is Julie Freischlag, who used to be surgeon-in-chief at John Hopkins and currently UC Davis vice chancellor for human health sciences and dean of the UC Davis School of Medicine.
