RESUMEN
Esta investigación histórica destaca la participación de la mujer en el contexto de la historia de Colombia, con énfasis en la medicina. Durante la época prehispánica, además de cuidar a sus hijos y a su hombre, atendiendo su riesgosa maternidad, contribuyó a sostener la población de la tribu. En la conquista y la colonia casi se exterminaron los aborígenes y fueron reemplazados por la etnia mestiza. Entonces, las parteras escribieron parte de la historia y dominaron el panorama médico de la mujer por más de 300 años. En el siglo XIX, el más violento de la República, la medicina se desprestigia; proliferan comadronas, curanderas y yerbateras. Sin embargo, en las últimas décadas cambia la situación se estructura la profesión de enfermería, se gradúa la primera mujer médica colombiana y es evidente el progreso en obstetricia y ginecología. En los siglos XX y XXI, la mujer logra todos sus derechos conquista la universidad y la sociedad. En las áreas de salud es donde sobresale y a partir de la década de los setenta comienza a equiparase con el hombre en número de profesionales y técnicos, que hoy domina ampliamente.
