DOI: 10.1590/0004-2730000003060
This edition of the Brazilian Archives of Endocrinology and Metabolism is dedicated to Female Endocrinology, a branch of Endocrinology committed to the study of hormonal regulation of the female reproductive system and its disturbances, from birth to old age.

Female Endocrinology is a scientific department of the Brazilian Society of Endocrinology (SBEM), together with Andrology (DEFA). The editors of the present issue are all past or current DEFA presidents: RC (2001-2002 and 2003-2004); PMS (2009-2010), and DPP is the present president (2013-2014).
