Dr. Lynne M. Reid.
In her journey as a research physician from Australia to London and then to Boston Childrenâs Hospital, where she was pathologist-in-chief, Dr. Lynne M. Reid found that gender bias often loomed as her biggest obstacle.
âAt times, one was conscious of resistance. It was considered inappropriate for a woman to pursue a career,â she said in an interview for the National Institutes of Healthâs Changing the Face of Medicine series. âPart-time work, or the role of the school physician, was considered more appropriate, especially for married women. Occasionally some colleagues would try to undermine oneâs work.â
