RESUMEN
FUNDAMENTO Y

OBJETIVO:

La presencia de mujeres pioneras en estudios superiores de Medicina en España cuenta con notables realizaciones. Este estudio indaga tesis doctorales en Medicina defendidas por mujeres en España desde 1882 a 1954 (el 1% de la producción total para ese periodo) e indexadas en las bases Cisne de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid. MATERIAL Y

MÉTODO:

Se recuperan y revisan 50 tesis doctorales. Se realiza un estudio longitudinal retrospectivo de análisis documental de tesis doctorales identificadas por año de defensa, título de cada tesis, nombre de la doctora, especialidad médica adscribible y palabras clave.

RESULTADOS:

El número de tesis de mujeres autoras se incrementa linealmente a lo largo del tiempo. Las especialidades médicas más comunes de tales tesis son Ginecología y Obstetricia, Farmacología, Hematología, Pediatría y Endocrinología. También se realiza un conteo de frecuencias de los descriptores, en el cual destacan los términos farmacología/terapia, educación, patogenia, enfermedad y niños. DISCUSIÓN Y

CONCLUSIONES:

La Medicina española dispone de 50 tesis doctorales pioneras defendidas por mujeres entre 1882 y 1954, aunque estas representan solo el 1% de la producción total de tesis doctorales en Medicina para ese periodo. Tan exiguo porcentaje alerta de un sesgo por techo de cristal que podría estar gravitando aún sobre las mujeres médicas. Una recomendación final se emite alentando a mejorar la situación de la mujer investigadora en Medicina
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND AND

OBJECTIVE:

The presence of pioneer women in Spanish Medical Education has a notable impact. The objective of this study is to investigate doctoral theses in Medicine written by women in Spain between 1882 and 1954 and indexed in the Cisne library catalogue of Madrid Complutense University. These theses account for 1% of the total output for the period. MATERIAL AND

METHOD:

This retrospective longitudinal document analysis study examines doctoral theses identified by year of submission, title, author's name, ascribable medical speciality, and keywords. A total of 50 doctoral theses were identified and reviewed.

RESULTS:

The number of theses by female authors increased linearly over time. The most common medical specialities studied by female candidates were gynaecology and obstetrics, pharmacology, haematology, paediatrics, and endocrinology. The frequency of study descriptors was also calculated, and the following key terms detected pharmacology/therapy, education, pathogenesis, disease, and children. DISCUSSION AND

CONCLUSIONS:

A total of 50 doctoral theses in medicine were written by pioneer female candidates in Spain between 1882 and 1954, accounting for just 1% of total output during this period. This tiny percentage indicates potential bias due to a glass ceiling that may continue to be a barrier to female doctors today. More still needs to be done to improve conditions for female medical researchers
