Gaps rarely close at the top. They close, or don't, at the first door: a first board seat, a first gynaecology appointment, a first prescription a doctor was once afraid to write. This week boards narrowed the entry point just as women reached the chair, and HRT evidence reopened a door fear kept shut for two decades. Measure who gets through the first door, not only who reaches the last.
