Dr. Ashwini, Dr. Sunitha V Ganiger

Abstract :

 The 19th century witnessed the advent of women into medicine. As doctors and nurses, women can serve the country more efficiently than men. It has been found that women on account of their tender hearts are better nurses and due to their naturally delicate and soft hands they are better surgeons. There is a grain of truth in the saying "A woman‘s voice is a cure and her touch a balm." Florence Nightingale, the lady with a lamp, made history and showed the way to womankind how efficiently and nobly they can mitigate the sufferings of humanity in wars and epidemics. In recent years, women have entrenched themselves in the professions as a consequence of this century‘s massive influx of women into the paid work force and a combination of legal, governmental, and social forces against gender discrimination. Thus , the present study is based on the primary data collected form women doctors practicing both at government and private hospital in Tumkur district through structured interview schedule. The main objective of the paper is to find the motivational factors for joining medicine.
