Eve tempting Adam with the apple, Delilah shearing Samson's hair,
Phyllis riding the philosopher Aristotle like a horse-from the
patristic period through the sixteenth century, examples of
disorderly women such as these from the Bible, antiquity, and
romance were cited to prove beyond any doubt that women exercise a
power that no man, however superior his moral and physical
qualities, can resist. An example of Latin topica, loci, or loci
communes central to ancient rhetoric and medieval literature, the
Power of Women topos illustrated how a woman could dominate,
humiliate, and even destroy the man who loved her too well. Two or
more infamous female figures were brought together to exemplify a
cluster of interrelated themes: the wiles of women, the power of
love, and the trials of marriage. Susan L. Smith's comprehensive
study of the Power of Women topos in written texts and in art
emphasizes the critical phase of its development from the late
twelfth to the end of the fourteenth century. During this period ,
she argues, traditional employment of the topos exclusively to
condemn women and justify male authority underwent a dramatic shift
as new voices (some of them female voices) appropriated the Power
of Women to contest and relativize the misogynistic views it had
been created to promote. The Power of Women analyzes the topos's
shifting operations in the context of ancient and medieval theories
of rhetoric, particularly with respect to the practice of
exemplification, which presuppose the possibility of conflicting
judgments on disputed topics. Smith further supports her argument
by reference to a wide range of recent theoretical writings by
Mikhail Bakhtin and others.
Sick and Tired of Being Sick and Tired Black Women's Health
Activism in America, 1890-1950 Susan Smith Winner of the 1996 The
Frances Richardson Keller-Sierra Prize from the Western Association
of Women Historians Winner of the 1997 Lavinia L. Dock Award from
the American Association for the History of Nursing "Susan Smith's
book addresses one of the most understudied aspects of African
American and American public health and medical history: the
emergence of black health activism in the United States. . . .
Drawing upon an impressive range of archival sources deposited at
historically black colleges, and upon interviews and oral
histories, Smith's case studies of the work of black midwives,
public health nurses, and sorority women support her argument that
black women played a key role in black health reform for much of
this century."--"Bulletin of the History of Medicine" "Sick and
Tired of Being Sick and Tired" moves beyond the depiction of
African Americans as mere recipients of aid or as victims of
neglect and highlights the ways black health activists created
public health programs and influenced public policy at every
opportunity. Smith also sheds new light on the infamous Tuskegee
syphilis experiment by situating it within the context of black
public health activity, reminding us that public health work had
oppressive as well as progressive consequences. Studies in Health,
Illness, and Caregiving 1995 288 pages 6 x 9 10 illus. ISBN

Mustard gas is typically associated with the horrors of World War I
battlefields and trenches, where chemical weapons were responsible
for tens of thousands of deaths. Few realize, however, that mustard
gas had a resurgence during the Second World War, when its uses and
effects were widespread and insidious. Toxic Exposures tells the
shocking story of how the United States and its allies
intentionally subjected thousands of their own servicemen to poison
gas as part of their preparation for chemical warfare. In addition,
it reveals the racialized dimension of these mustard gas
experiments, as scientists tested whether the effects of toxic
exposure might vary between Asian, Hispanic, black, and white
Americans. Drawing from once-classified American and Canadian
government records, military reports, scientists' papers, and
veterans' testimony, historian Susan L. Smith explores not only the
human cost of this research, but also the environmental degradation
caused by ocean dumping of unwanted mustard gas. As she assesses
the poisonous legacy of these chemical warfare experiments, Smith
also considers their surprising impact on the origins of
chemotherapy as cancer treatment and the development of veterans'
rights movements. Toxic Exposures thus traces the scars left when
the interests of national security and scientific curiosity battled
with medical ethics and human rights.
