abstract = {Women physicians in late 19th century Russia emerge just as the Russian professions
begin attempting to achieve some degree of autonomy from bureaucratic interference.
Women took advantage of this discourse to portray themselves as competent professionals
dedicated to bettering the lives of Russian people. Quite often these attempts to justify
their work in the profession also motivated them to publish their scientific findings so that they could be viewed as legitimate scholars and physicians.
This article concentrates on six women physicians, Elizabeth Drentel'n, Aieksandra
Ekkert, Maria Pokrovskaia, Evgeniia Serebrennikova, Anna Shabanova, and Maria Volkova who provide illustrative case studies for what many other women physicians were doing.
Women physicians published on a wide variety of topics, from women's and children's
health to various types of cancers and infectious diseases. A few also used their medical
training to advocate for wornen's political and social rights.},
