Summary/Abstract: Many studies and statistics show that a pharmacist has been a typical male profession centuries ago and with a few exceptions it has been practiced by women as well. However, after the 1980s and the first years of the 21st century, pharmacy became one of the most preferred specialties for women’s professional development. Scarcely anyone has thought about the first Bulgarian ladies who have managed to fight for the right to be trained as pharmacists students, assistant pharmacists and master pharmacists in times of full patriarchy (male domination). We have thoroughly reviewed and researched historical background and evidence and in this publication we present information about three worthy Bulgarian women, an example of women turning their dream into reality – to be Master pharmacists and have contributed to the development of pharmacy in many Bulgarian cities.
