Description
The classic work on women's health and how the medical establishment helped to justify sexism, by the authors of Witches, Midwives, and Nurses . From Barbara Ehrenrich, New York Times -bestselling author of Nickel and Dimed , Bright-Sided , and other titles, and Deirdre English, former editor of Mother Jones , this book delves into the history of how women have been diagnosed, defined, and often dismissed, by doctors, a problem that persists even today. From claiming scientific proof of female inferiority to prescribing the "rest cure" to labeling patients as "hysterical," the medical profession treated women as weak and pathological -- and here, the authors of the "underground classic" Witches, Midwives, and Nurses ( Kirkus Reviews ) show how this biomedical rationale was used to justify sex discrimination throughout the culture, as well as how its vestiges are still evident in abortion policy and other reproductive rights struggles.
