| book description |
This four-volume collection explores medical women as a global phenomenon during the long nineteenth century. The set explores how British medical women travelled internationally to treat patients who, for reasons of religious, cultural, or social beliefs, were reluctant to seek treatment from male doctors. In this instance, missionary zeal was balanced with concern for women’s health and welfare. The collection includes texts written by those who qualified as medical women and practised either in their national context or those educated abroad, who then returned home to pursue their careers. The latter makes widely available works by women of colour, including the African American woman doctor, Rebecca Lee Crumpler, and Indian female medical practitioner, Rukhmabai. Ultimately, this title will place medical women of the nineteenth and early twentieth century in an international conversation about their professional expectations and responsibilities. Accompanied by extensive editorial commentary, this title will be of great interest to students of Women's History and the History of Medicine.
