Can you imagine Critical Care Medicine (CCM) as a profession, a society, or a journal without the contribution and influence of women? Early accounts of the impact of women in critical care came from the experience of bedside nurses. Fifty years ago, few women physicians specialized in critical care, held leadership positions, published as lead authors, or served on editorial boards. Over time, women have become widely dispersed throughout these arenas (Fig. 1). The representation in critical care that women are experiencing in 2022 is partly due to the trailblazers, their professional expertise, and expanding opportunities. The objective of this article is to describe the intertwined contributions of women to the Society of CCM (SCCM) and the journal CCM at this 50-year anniversary. Women have been trendsetters in leadership and medical journalism and important for the future growth of women in SCCM journals.The experiences of the authors within SCCM and CCM are broad and varied, leading to perspectives based on profession, from membership to leadership, as committee volunteers, and as clinicians, authors, and researchers. Although there were many challenges for women in the early years of the organization and journal that are still typical, the determination of many women has led to continuous improvements in inclusivity and equity. Organizational culture and successful roles for women are the result of highly engaged individuals at all levels of the leadership and the staff (male and female). Thus, this article is intended to celebrate women in SCCM and their roles with CCM and identify opportunities for the future. Figure 1.
