A stunning look at the medical treatment of women in the 1800s. It carries the development of medicine from assumptions on what was "wrong" with female bodies and minds to increasingly scientific methods of care.
Filled with anecdotes, women's stories, and physicians' understanding - this is an exciting and stunning journey. The Epilogue updates the evolving medical fields that interact with and take care of women's physical and mental needs.
Highly recommended for anyone who loves good stories, cherishes the advances of science, and is interested in how history unfolds.
