"When I saw the cover of The New Yorker, I was blown away by the fact there was a female surgeon out there for everyone to see," Pitt told Mashable."The surgical field has traditionally been dominated by men, and I loved that Malika Favre was not influenced by that stereotype."
Since the issue came out right before she attended an annual American Association of Endocrine Surgeons meeting, she knew she had to replicate it.

"I hope that people recognize surgeons come in all genders and races." Pitt said, explaining hopes the photo enlightens others and draws attention to the pay gap and other inequities in the medical/ STEM fields.
A study published last year in JAMA Internal Medicinefound that female doctors make nearly $20,000 less on average than their male colleagues.
"In surgery, there’s been a strong movement in the past couple of years towards equality," she told Buzzfeed. "In the context of our field, the timing of the Malika Favre cover was perfect for women to rally around."
