This book is not only a groundbreaking study of the role of women in the American medical profession, but a fascinating glimpse into how medicine was taught and practiced in the last century. Beginning with the colonial period--when women practiced healing as nurses, midwives, and practitioners of folk medicine--and continuing through their struggle to enter medical schools in the 1800s, the book charts the emergence in our own time of women as full-fledged medical professionals. Morantz-Sanchez documents the contributions of medical educators such as Mary Putnam Jacobi and Elizabeth Blackwell and researchers such as Florence Sabin and Anna Wessel Williams and includes the stories of numerous ordinary physicians, gleaned from letters, diaries, and memoirs. In the process, she overturns many common assumptions about women in the 19th and 20th centuries and shows both the resources on which they drew and the barriers they were forced to overcome.
