Publisher's Synopsis

In the early 1800s, women were dying in large numbers from treatable diseases because they avoided receiving medical care. Examinations performed by male doctors were often demeaning and even painful. In addition, women faced stigma from illness -- a diagnosis could greatly limit their ability to find husbands, jobs, or be received in polite society.
