women behind ? (4)

Around 350 years BC, medecine was a discipline only reserved for men. But despite that, Agnodice studied under Herophilios, passed the test brilliantly and became gynaecologist. To do this, she had to dress as a man.
One day, Agnodice heard a woman crying out and went to care for her, but the woman refused male aid. After revealing herself as a woman, the woman allowed Agnodice to treat her. Before long, many women heard about Agnodice being disguised as a man and sought for her care.
When male physicians began to see that their services were no longer desired by women, the male physicians began to accuse Agnodice of seducing the women and the women were accused of feigning illnesses. She then lifted her tunic to reveal her true identity and was condemned further by the men of Athens for her deceit and false pretenses. But the recognition prodded the wives of main Athenians to unite and to defend Agnodice. Then judges acquitted her and let her keep practising medecine. Following year, a law was passed which permitted women to study and practise medecine.
