This source provides a timeline of significant events surrounding women in healthcare in the American Medical Association starting from the time of Elizabeth Blackwell's Medical School Graduation to today.
The timeline shows that a lot of the most well-remembered and meaningful advancing events in women in healthcare happened between the 1960's and 1980's, during the times of the Feminism movement. This indicates that the feminist movement was bringing about change for women's rights everywhere, including in healthcare.
