Publisher's Synopsis
""Letter To Ladies In Favor Of Female Physicians For Their Own Sex"" is a book written by Samuel Gregory, which advocates for the acceptance and promotion of female physicians in the medical field. The book was published in 1850 during a time when women were not allowed to attend medical schools or practice medicine, and their only option was to seek medical care from male physicians, which was often uncomfortable and embarrassing for them. Gregory argues that female physicians are better suited to treat women as they are more empathetic, understanding, and knowledgeable about women's health issues. He also addresses common objections to women practicing medicine, such as concerns about their physical and mental abilities, and argues that these are unfounded and based on societal prejudices. The book is written as a letter to women, and Gregory addresses his readers directly, urging them to support the cause of female physicians and to demand better healthcare for women. He also provides practical advice for women who wish to become physicians, including how to find opportunities for education and training. Overall, ""Letter To Ladies In Favor Of Female Physicians For Their Own Sex"" is an important historical document that sheds light on the struggles of women in the medical field and the efforts of early advocates for gender equality in healthcare.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
