Absolutely fascinating to learn additional medical history from a female trailblazing (and often times ridiculed) account of so many remarkable women medical staff, some patients, and the family and societies that surrounded them.

New audiobook from the library in my ears. So far it‘s making me want to 😱 at the patriarchy. But I love the medical history too!

Librarybelle I‘ve wondered about this one. Interested to see what you think of it. 3mo

The Cure for Women is a well-written, well researched book. Jacobi fought for women to be able to get a medical degree from schools in the U.S. In the 1800s, women weren't allowed to attend many universities in the U.S. that men could attend. In fact, women ended up going to Europe to receive their degrees.

4⭐️. This was my #doublespin for #bookspinbingo!
