Abstract
During the past twenty-five years, the profession of accountancy in the United States has experienced a dramatic increase of women entering the practice of accounting, particularly public accounting. Although women have historically worked in business record-keeping, their movement into the mainstream of accounting has until recently been slow and difficult. The following brief comments are to remind us of the difficulties women faced in obtaining an accounting education and entering private, governmental, and public accounting during this century.
