Abstract

This paper explores the influence of feminist movements on healthcare during the 20th Century and delves into the transformative influence of these interventions, highlighting landmark moments such as the Roe v. Wade ruling. Significant figures, including Margaret Sanger and Doris Haire, were pivotal in advancing women’s health rights and challenging longstanding biases. From the establishment of Women’s Health Centers to policy changes like the inclusion of women in clinical trials, the echoes of feminist advocacy are evident in today’s healthcare practices and policies. Their legacy emphasizes the continuous need for equity and inclusivity in healthcare.
