I am sorry. There were few women doctors in the UK because prior to the 1972 Sex Equality Act the Medical Schools had quotas of between 5% and 15% for female students.

When that barrier went the number of female doctors took off like a rocket.

Likewise with the black middle class in the US - once the quota's that kept African Americans out of Universities ended, lo! magic!
