| >From the editor:-
Medical Advice for Women is a new five-volume collection covering
professional, scientific, and medical opinion, in addition to the popular
guides aimed at the female reader, between the years 1830?1915. Medical
literature from this period provides a fascinating insight into the
interrelations between social proscriptions, often validated by appeals to
religious authority, and medical prescriptions. The narrative contained
within this largely chronological collection is not necessarily a
progressive one from quackery to medical and scientific enlightenment; the
situation was more nuanced than selective quotation from sensational
examples has implied in the past.
This collection illuminates the complexity and shifting grounds of opinion
in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries by bringing back into print
a broad selection of texts offering medical advice to women, and will be of
interest to all scholars and students working in gender and cultural
studies, and particularly to historians and ociologists of medicine.
