Forgotten Healers

Women and the Pursuit of Health in Late Renaissance Italy

Beschreibung

In Renaissance Italy women from all walks of life played a central role in health care and the early development of medical science. Observing that the frontlines of care are often found in the household and other spaces thought of as female, Sharon Strocchia encourages us to rethink womenà â â s place in the history of medicine.
