The project was conceived during the joint meeting of the German and Italian Neurosurgical Societies in Taormina in 1972, and the first volume was pub- lished in 1974. The English language was chosen to facilitate the international exchange of information and the circulation of scientific progress. Since then, the ATSN has hosted chapters by eminent European neurosurgeons and has become one of the most renowned educational tools on the continent for both young and experienced neurosurgeons. The successive editorial boards have maintained the ATSN’s high scientific quality and ensured a good balance between contributions dealing with advances in neuroscience over the years and detailed descriptions of surgical techniques, as well as analyses of clinical experiences. Additional appeal has been added by the freedom granted by the Editor and Publisher in the length, style and organisation of the published chapters. The current series aims to preserve the original spirit of the publication and its high-level didactic function but intends to present itself not only as a historic European publication but as a truly international forum for the most advanced clini- cal research and modern operating standards.

Hernández-Durán et al. women in neurosurgery in every country in the world. The contributions of these trailblazers to the origins, academics, and international professional organizations of neurosurgery are highlighted. The formation of Women in Neurosurgery (WINS) in 1989 in the United States was an important inflection point. This organization has played a significant role, by inspiring the creation of other similar organizations worldwide and introducing and promoting talented women in the profession.
