On gender roles in spine surgery

In our recent article, "Gender trends in authorship of spine related academic literature – a 39 year perspective", we demonstrated that while female authorship is increasing over time, women still only make up about 14% of senior authors. Furthermore, women are half as likely to continue publishing longer than 5 years and, as senior authors, publish half as many articles as men do. These numbers are astonishing, but they only tell part of the story; we must rely on the experiences of females in spine surgery to further understand the underlying truths behind the gender disparities.
