Women's Medical Work in Early Modern France Author: Susan Broomhall

ISBN: 9780719062872 Format: Paperback Number Of Pages: 296 Published: 16 September 2011 Country of Publication: GB Dimensions (cm): 21.6 x 13.8 x 1.5 Description: Women have long been crucial to the provision of medical services, both in the treatment of sickness and in maintaining health. In this study, Susan Broomhall situates the practices and perceptions of women's medical work in France in the context of the sixteenth century and its medical evolution and innovations. She argues that early modern understandings of medical practice and authority were highly flexible and subject to change. She furthermore examines how a focus on female practitioners, who cut across most sectors of early modern medical practice, can reveal the multifaceted phenomenon of these negotiations for authority.

This new paperback edition of Women's medical work in early modern France skilfully combines detailed research with a clear presentation of the existing literature of women's medical work, making it invaluable to students of gender and medical history.
