In the special edition, the editorial team from Stroke highlights 9 different studies illuminating different disparities in care, outcomes, and authorship of studies based on gender. In our interview, Majersik also reflects on her personal experience as a female neurologist and how the hurdles she faced are different from those faced by early-career clinicians.
