Resum

The participation of women in certain professions and trades throughout history has often been restricted and sometimes prohibi-ted. One of the professions that in the past presented multiple difficulties to be exercised by women, has been medicine and especially surgery. There is an unusual case that took place in the nineteenth century and was that of a woman Margaret Ann Bulkley, who performed surgery as a man by the name of James Barry, holding positions of responsibility in the British army and that her situation and sex, not He was discovered until after his death. Its history can be considered unusual and strange, and more taking into consideration, the period of time and the profile of the society in which I live it.
