When women agitated to join the medical profession in Britain
during the 1860s, the practice of surgery proved both a help (women
were neat, patient and used to needlework) and a hindrance (surgery
was brutal, bloody and distinctly unfeminine). In this major new
study, Claire Brock examines the cultural, social and
self-representation of the woman surgeon from the second half of
the nineteenth century until the end of the Great War. Drawing on a
rich archive of British hospital records, she investigates
precisely what surgery women performed and how these procedures
affected their personal and professional reputation, as well as the
reactions of their patients to these new phenomena. Essential
reading for those interested in the history of medicine, British
Women Surgeons and their Patients, 1860-1918 provides wide-ranging
new perspectives on patient narratives and women's participation in
surgery between 1860 and 1918. This title is also available as Open
Access.
