In May 1991, Frances Conley, the first tenured female neurosurgeon in the country, made headline news when she resigned from her position at Stanford University to protest the medical school's long-ingrained overt gender discrimination. In this forthright memoir, Conley describes her medical training, the enormous investment she made in becoming a member of the small, elite, white male world of neurosurgery, and her realization -- late in an extraordinarily successful career -- that she would never realty be a member of this club.Conley portrays the world of academic medicine, where all doctors are trained but where women are still considered inferior. As a result, research and treatment of women's health problems lag far behind men's; women's careers and psyches are suffering. Conley eventually returned to Stanford after some of the changes for which she had fought so hard were initiated, but her story makes it painfully clear that, in spite of their advances, female doctors -- as well as all other female hospital staff -- still have a long way to go before they are judged on the basis of their abilities rather than on their gender.
