Summary/Abstract: The text is an excerpt from the book Complaints & Disorders. The Sexual Politics of Sickness, which is a continuation of the monograph Witches, Midwives, and Nurses. The authors try to prove that medical history was tainted with sexism, doctors consistently treated working-class women as a hotbed of disease, and rulers used Darwinism to introduce sexist and classist practices.
