Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Gynaeciorum libri, the 'Books on [the diseases of] women,' a compendium of ancient and contemporary texts on gynaecology, is the inspiration for this intensive exploration of the origins of a subfield of medicine. This collection was first published in 1566, with a second edition in 1586/8 and a third, running to 1097 folio pages, in 1597. While examining the origins of the compendium, Helen King here concentrates on its reception, looking at a range of different uses of the book in the history of medicine from the sixteenth to the nineteenth century. Looking at the competition and collaboration among different groups of men involved in childbirth, and between men and women, she demonstrates that arguments about history were as important as arguments about the merits of different designs of forceps. She focuses on the eighteenth century, when the 'man-midwife' William Smellie found his competence to practise challenged on the grounds of his allegedly inadequate grasp of the history of medicine. In his lectures, Smellie remade the 'father of medicine', Hippocrates, as the 'father of midwifery'. The close study of these texts results in a fresh perspective on Thomas Laqueur's model of the defeat of the one-sex body in the eighteenth century, and on the origins of gynaecology more generally. King argues that there were three occasions in the history of western medicine on which it was claimed that women's difference from men was so extensive that they required a separate branch of medicine: the fifth century BC, and the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries. By looking at all three occasions together, and by tracing the links not only between ancient Greek ideas and their Renaissance rediscovery, but also between the Renaissance compendium and its later owners, King analyzes how the claim of female 'difference' was shaped by specific social and cultural conditions. Midwifery, Obstetrics and the Rise of Gynaecology makes a genuine contribution not only to the history of medicine and its subfield of gynaecology, but also to gender and cultural studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on the Science and Practice of Midwifery During the intervening four years since the last American edition was issued, very decided advances have been made in the field of obstetric surgery, particularly in the adoption of methods that have resulted in the saving of human life. The conservative Caesarean operation in the most carefully managed European maternities, and even in the general practice in our own country, may be honestly claimed to save 90 per cent. of the women - 16 having died out of 160 cases in certain European hospitals, and 2 out of the last 20 in the United States. The Porro-Caesarean record of all countries now shows a mortality which has been reduced to 14 per cent., as proven by the record of 1890-1891; and the sub-peritoneal, replacing the fatal intra-peritoneal method, has saved 22 women out of 25. The introduction of symphyseotomy into our country a year ago, has required us to give a special notice to this operation, now so largely performed in Europe, and attracting a growing attention here, because of its possibilities of success. The term laparotomy, and the prefix laparo-, as applied to abdominal surgery, and not to flank-incisions, have been abandoned throughout the volume, and the term c diotomy, and the prefix c lio-, substituted for them. Craniotomy having fallen in the estimation of American obstetricians, and some of the younger thinkers of Great Britain, because of the diminishing dangers of Caesarean and symphyseotomic deliveries, the American editor has striven to do away with the leaning of the English author toward a preference for the infantile destructive method, begotten of opinions based upon comparative results which were prevalent, and thought to be well founded, forty years ago.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A Treatise on the Art of Midwifery" is a 1760 book educating expecting parents on information necessary for the successful delivery of their child. The aim of the book was to stress the importance of experienced midwives, their knowledge, and their patience. At the end of the 18th century, there was an increased demand for male midwives skilled in the use of obstetrical forceps. The author of the book felt that male midwives used forceps too eagerly to expedite the delivery and that this increased the risk of injury to infants and mothers alike. The patience and skill of traditional midwives, on the contrary, would result in fewer infant injuries and a lower mortality rate.
