Not long ago, a woman ophthalmologist was a rarity. How things have changed. Today, women are involved in every aspect of ophthalmology. They are physicians, optometrists, managers/ administrators, nurses, technicians, billers, and receptionistsand their percentage as part of the entire profession continues to grow. The Women of Ophthalmology: Observations on Gender Issues in Eyecare offers a rare glimpse into the history and evolution of women in the field. Contributors include women in various roles who give personalized, insightful, and often touching accounts of their road to ophthalmology and where they are today. Also included are chapters containing objective academic reflection and philosophical explorations.

This is a book for both men and women, inside and outside the field of ophthalmology. It is not a pedantic tome of political and sociological debate. It is a story of real women, the people in their lives, and what they do day in and day out. It is about courage, will, persistence, and dedication. It is about what works and what does not work.
