The history of a woman's self-realization in medicine, her medical education shows she had to go through a very difficult path. Medicine was once considered the prerogative of only the stronger sex. Therefore, women were strictly forbidden to practice medicine besides the obstetrics. In modern medicine and medical education, on the other hand, the number of women exceeds men, and this gap is growing every year. This makes the topic of the development of women's higher medical education quite relevant for research. The aim of this study was to identify the characteristics and general trends in the history of women's acquisition of the right to higher medical education. The study is based on historical and historiographical sources that reflect various aspects of women's history in medical education. The object of study of this work was the historical and modern stages of the self-realisation of women's medical education and the direct work of women in the medical profession. In the 21st century Medicine of Ukraine and the world is increasingly gaining a female face and the analysis of the history of this process shows the significant role of women themselves in it. The main driving force for women to obtain the right to higher medical education was their self-motivation and active socio-political position.
