Abstract
An evaluation of where we stand often requires a careful assessment of where it all began. The Urological Society of India took birth in an era when few women chose a career in medicine, let alone a surgical subspecialty that included the management of diseases involving the male genitalia. Back then, classrooms barely had any women, and universities often reserved a few undergraduate seats for them. While recent years have seen a steady change, there is evidence to suggest that women choosing a career in urology are disadvantaged.[1]
