Review # 1 was written on 2007-10-06 00:00:00 Jared Humes This book just didn't quite hit onto either of the reasons I purchased it. I bought this book on the basis of the title and the cover, which suggested it would be an interesting discussion of law, with, perhaps, a morbid thrill thrown in. This really isn't. What this book tends to be is a long examination of the history of women in medicine, and, more particularly, of one woman practicing in New York, who seems to quite possibly have been overpublished and undertalented, quick with the knife, and self-aggrandizing. If you are writing a treatise on the history of medicine and feminism, this would be an excellent work to refer to. If, like me, you picked it up as a lawyer or out of morbid curiosity, do yourself a favor and skip it, there's neither enough law nor enough gore to get you through the views on the advancement and development of gynecology as a specialty.

Review # 2 was written on 2008-06-01 00:00:00 Richard Mclean A little piece of history. It took me a while to work through, I only picked it up occasionally. Wouldn't jump up and down about reading it, but history is always interesting.
