Concept information
Preferred term
veterinary medicine
Definition
- Veterinary medicine has been, as many fields, dominated by men for much of U.S. history. Like other fields, this has been true, in part, because of the very nature of gendered spheres of public and private space prior to World War II. Unlike others, however, veterinary medicine brought with it an additional hurdle for the entrance of women that is fundamental to the nature of the work—the proximity of women and large animals, which is particularly relevant to the problems of women entering this field in the West.
