pickAbsolutely 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!
pickI think I heard about this book through and interview with the author on a podcast; otherwise I was completely unaware of this story.
In 1999 (!) MIT admitted to discriminating against women scientists (ongoing at the time, not just in the past). They corrected their practices, but as related in the epilogue, there are still men who think women don't have as much of an aptitude for science as men do 🙄
pickThe 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.
