In this exciting sequel to their underground bestseller, Witches, Midwives, and Nurses, Barbara Ehrenreich and Deirdre English document the tradition of American sexism in medicine before and after the turn of the century. Citing vivid examples, including numerous treatments and rest cures perpetrated on women through the decades, the authors analyze the biomedical rationale used to justify the wholesale sex discrimination throughout our culture-in education, in jobs, and in public life.

In this intriguing pamphlet, the authors raise the diffuclt question: How sick-or well-are women today? They assert that feminists today want more than more: We want a new style, and we want a new substance of medical practice as it relates to women.
