This paper highlights the experiences of women who have served as Health Physics Society presidents. Their insights offer historical context and encourage future female leaders in the field.

Area of Science:

  • Health Physics
  • Radiation Protection
  • Professional Societies

Background:

  • The Health Physics Society (HPS) has had limited female leadership, with only 6 out of 63 presidents being women.
  • This study focuses on the experiences of these pioneering women in leadership roles.

Observation:

  • Five living past female presidents share their personal reflections and experiences.
  • The first female president's journey is also briefly discussed.

Findings:

  • The perspectives offer valuable historical insights into the evolution of the Health Physics Society.
  • Personal accounts shed light on the challenges and rewards of the presidential office.

Implications:

  • These narratives aim to inspire junior members, particularly women, to pursue leadership positions.
