There are many reasons for this gender imbalance, from broad systemic discrimination in society, to medical-specific discrimination. For many years, women were not allowed in medical schools, and in some cases, such as in ancient Greece, a woman practicing medicine was considered a crime. But despite these oppressive odds, women throughout history have defied these pressures and have gone on to study and work in various medical fields. Many of them have made groundbreaking discoveries and contributions to medicine, ranging from neonatal health to DNA structure. A common characteristic among many of these women, particularly those practicing before the mid-20th century, is they stood up to families that did not wish for them to attend medical school, and worked alongside men who did not believe they belonged in the medical arena. Those active earlier sometimes had to resort to even more drastic measures than familial defiance—in some cases, even disguising themselves as men in order to study and practice medicine. Nursing Education compiled a list of 15 women who changed medicine over the course of history from news, scientific, and government reports. Click through for a look at these remarkable women who defied the odds against them and went on to change how we understand and heal from a wide range of medical conditions.

[Best woman-led action movies]( Tai Gooden [ Best woman-led action movies ]( [See full slideshow »]( Women’s roles in films continue to grow and change as cinema evolves. No longer relegated to background characters whose sole purpose lies in supporting and motivating their male counterparts, women are stepping into the forefront in their own right. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the action movie space, with movies like "Kill Bill" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" putting women protagonists in starring roles and quite literally flipping the script on this traditionally male-dominated genre. Women's portrayals in action stories vary widely, from young adventurers and vengeance-seeking heroines to warriors and intergalactic freedom fighters. To acknowledge and examine this shift, Stacker put together a list of the best woman-led action movies. To do so, we compiled data on all women-led action movies and created a Stacker score representing a weighted index split evenly between IMDb and Metacritic scores. To qualify, the film had to have an indisputable woman lead, classify as an action film on IMDb, have a Metascore, and have at least 5,000 votes. Ties were broken by Metascore and further ties were broken by IMDb votes. The formula of women-led action movies works: Among the films on the forthcoming list are huge blockbusters, fan favorites, and more than two dozen inspiring tales that offer women around the world a different storyline entirely than anything resembling a supporting role.
