This paper examines the tension and paradoxes that arise during the evaluation of the effects of feminist epistemology in the medical community. The international medical literature shows us that feminist bibliography is not usually cited. The term feminism is replaced by the methodological technical terms of «gender bias» or «gender perspectives » or «gender based health studies» in the medical journal articles. Medical authors do not explicitly recognize feminist genealogy even if they are women integrated in a gender studies network or well-known members of the feminist movement in Spain. After the discussion of these and other phenomena, this essay postulates the use of new data and criteria to raise the visibility of the impact of feminism in medicine by reviewing the medical practice and the therapeutic relationship. Finally, the heading question is changed: how has been medical practice affecting feminism since the 90’s?
