Women in Medicine in the Long Nineteenth Century: Volume IV: Patient Perspectives

This volume examines the contemporary fear that hospital patients, mostly of working-class origin, were being experimented upon by their overly eager, ambitious, and vivisecting doctors. Accompanied by extensive editorial commentary, this title will be of great interest to students of Women’s History and the History of Medicine.
