The history of women in neurosurgery worldwide has been characterized by adversity and hardships in a male-dominated field, where resilient, tenacious, and ingenious women have nevertheless left their mark. The first women in neurosurgery appeared in Europe at the end of the 1920s, and since then have emerged in all continents in the world. Women neurosurgeons all over the globe have advanced the field in numerous directions, introducing neurosurgical subspecialties to their countries, making scientific and technical advances, and dedicating themselves to humanitarian causes, to name a few. The past 30 years, in particular, have been a period of increasing involvement and responsibility for women in neurosurgery. We must now focus on continual system improvements that will promote a diverse and talented workforce, building a welcoming environment for all aspiring neurosurgeons, in order to advance the specialty in the service of neurosurgical patients.
全球范围内，女性从事神经外科工作的历史充满了逆境和艰辛，在这个以男性为主导的领域中，坚韧、顽强和富有创造力的女性依然留下了自己的印记。20 世纪 20 年代末，第一批女性神经外科医生出现在欧洲，此后，世界各地的女性神经外科医生不断涌现。全球的女性神经外科医生在多个方向推动了神经外科领域的发展，将神经外科亚专业引入本国，取得了科学和技术进步，并致力于人道主义事业等等。特别是在过去的 30 年里，女性在神经外科领域的参与度和责任不断增加。我们现在必须专注于持续改进系统，以促进多元化和有才华的劳动力，为所有有志成为神经外科医生的人营造一个欢迎的环境，从而为神经外科患者的服务推进这一专业。
