""A History of Women in Medicine: From the Earliest Times to the Beginning of the Nineteenth Century"" is a comprehensive book by Kate Campbell Hurd-Mead that delves into the often-overlooked contributions of women in the field of medicine. The book takes the reader on a journey through time, exploring the role of women in medicine from ancient times to the nineteenth century.The book begins with a discussion of the earliest known female healers in ancient times, and then moves on to highlight the work of women in medieval medicine, including the contributions of nuns and midwives. The author also explores the challenges faced by women in the medical profession during the Renaissance and Enlightenment periods, as well as the emergence of female doctors in the early nineteenth century.Throughout the book, Hurd-Mead provides fascinating insights into the lives and work of women who made significant contributions to the field of medicine, often in the face of significant obstacles and discrimination. The book also sheds light on the social and cultural factors that have historically prevented women from pursuing careers in medicine, and the ways in which women have challenged these barriers over time.Overall, ""A History of Women in Medicine"" is a compelling and informative read that offers a unique perspective on the history of medicine and the important role that women have played in shaping this field.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
