[The entrance of women to medicine].
L'entrée des femmes en médecine
Résumé
From their first registration at the Faculty of Medicine of Paris to the opening of a clinic, the first women doctors met as much opposition as support. Between 1866 and World War I, medical female students and the female physicians are present in the press and public debates. They are few in number, rarely French. Through their history and their writings, this article seeks to understand the concept of"female nature" and how our French female doctors offer a new concept of medicine and its practice.
