Abstract
Gender inequity persists in academic medicine. This article reviews the historical context, ongoing leadership challenges, and societal biases. The persistent barriers to gender equity in leadership roles, pay, and professional recognition are considered through the lens of obstetrics and gynecology where these issues persist despite a significant presence of women in the field. The impact of gender stereotypes, the role of intersectionality, and the need for systemic change are evident. Embracing diverse leadership styles and creating inclusive pathways to leadership will help actualize the potential benefits of a gender-diverse workforce, enhancing health care outcomes and fostering innovation.
