Publisher's Synopsis
Originally published in 1861, this landmark work by physician and feminist Samuel Gregory argued forcefully for the importance of women's health and the need for female physicians. Written at a time when women were excluded from medical schools and few options for healthcare were available to them, Gregory's letter helped to spur the establishment of educational opportunities and professional resources for women in medicine. This updated edition provides valuable historical context and a powerful reminder of the ongoing struggle for women's rights and health.
