FEMALE DOCTORS
Norwegian title: «Kvinder med Begavelse for Lægevirksomhed»
Catalogue textThis is the story of the first female doctors in Norway and their struggle to gain the right to education. This victory in the medical field had major consequences for gender equality in a young Norway. Not least, this story demonstrates how this later benefitted society as a whole. Health services for and research on women and children improved dramatically with their participation. As such, this is not just medical history, but a story about when Norway became a modern nation.
