Beginning in the past century and continuing to evolve into the twenty-first century, there have been dramatic changes in women's work and personal/family lives within the United States. These changes have particularly affected white, middle-class women and women in medicine and other professions. Physicians in fields whose practitioners are predominantly female and/or who treat primarily women and families need to be aware of the scope and nature of these changes and to recognize that their own personal experiences and values might differ from those of women of different generations as well as different socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds.
从上个世纪开始，并延续到 21 世纪，美国女性的工作和个人/家庭生活发生了巨大变化。这些变化尤其影响了白人中产阶级女性以及从事医学和其他职业的女性。在从业者主要为女性和/或主要治疗女性和家庭的领域中工作的医生需要意识到这些变化的范围和性质，并认识到他们自己的个人经历和价值观可能与不同代际的女性以及不同社会经济和文化背景的女性有所不同。
