Considering the fact that even in Japan the modern development of anesthesia triggered the simultaneous -advances in surgery and related specialties, it is impor- tant to elucidate the formative history of anesthesia to comprehend the modem history of medicine in Japan. The most significant influence on the modern advance of anesthesia in Japan was made in 1950 by Saklad's lectures at the Japanese-American Joint Conference on Medical Education, held by the Unitarian Service Com- mittee Medical Mission. Their direct and indirect influ- ence was assessed by means of subsequent roles of several eminent professors in the specialty, number of anesthesia-related presentations in annual meetings of the Japan Surgical Society and Japanese Association for Thoracic Surgery, and number of anesthesia- related papers in various medical journals before and after his lectures.

Biographies of Walter B. Cannon (1871-1945) usually present two sides of his life: one, where he was an outstanding man of science in the United States during the so-called "Golden Age of Medicine," and the other, where he was a leading humanitarian activist engaged in myriad causes, notably in the defense of Spanish democracy during the Civil War (1936-1939). However, these biographies fail to take into account that the apparent link between these two sides of his life was his religious conviction.

This contribution is focused on analysing the power of 'masculinization' through which traditional humanitarian storytelling has been shaped. Strongly marked by a patriarchal vision, humanitarian accounts have traditionally hidden the work of women while stressing that performed by men, who appeared represented as true protagonists and, even, as heroes. In particular, this article analyses the professional career of a Spanish female surgeon named María Gómez (1914-1975) between 1944 and 1950, when she worked in a small charitable hospital based in Toulouse (France) for improving the health-care conditions of Spanish Republican refugees.
