In May 1991, Frances K. Conley, the first female tenured professor of neurosurgery in the country, made headline news when she resigned from Stanford University to protest the medical school's unabashed gender discrimination. In this controversial, forthright memoir, Conley portrays the world of academic medicine in which women are still considered inferior; she also explains why, as a consequence, the research and treatment of women's health problems lag far behind those of men. In assessing why women's careers and psyches are suffering, Conley provides a first-person look into what it is like to be an accomplished woman within this restrictive medical world, offering invaluable advice to patients and future doctors alike.

Walking out on the Boys
Riveting story of an accomplished neurosurgen's experience of sex discrimination in the highly competitive field of academic medicine.
I did not experience the degree of discrimination described by this author (neither in training nor in practice) - but her career was 10 years before mine, and entrenched in academia which is a different beast than private practice. That said, her description of initially swimming with the tide, and accepting behaviors and attitudes as "just the way it is," makes me wonder how much I tuned out.
It's hard to know if today the pendulum has swung too far, from the previous cover-ups of blatant sexual harassment and abuse of power into hypersensitivity and an assumption that men are guilty until proven innocent.Neither posture is healthy nor grounded on individual human dignity.
Stories like Dr. Conley's are important in our growth toward a fully just and nurturing culture.
