Women in pharmacy

Women have served widely as pharmacists.[1] However, as with women in many jobs, women in pharmacy have been restricted. For example, only in 1964 was the American Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Pub. L. 88–352, 78 Stat. 241, enacted July 2, 1964) enacted, which outlawed refusing to hire women because of their sex including though not limited to in the profession of pharmacist.[2][3] Even today, not all countries ensure equal employment opportunities for women.[4]
