"A Text-book of Diseases of Women" by Charles B. Penrose is an early 20th-century medical guide intended for students and doctors, focusing on the unique diseases affecting women and their treatment. This book uncovers the era's understanding of gynecology, exploring female anatomy, how it works, and specific medical issues. It organizes gynecological problems by their causes, explaining how things like anatomy and a woman's social life cause these diseases. A key idea is that many health problems come from having children, along with things like infections, poor lifestyles, and not taking care of oneself during periods. Societal roles and physical differences shape women's health, highlighting how life and society can affect these diseases. All of this is the start of a deep look into specific illnesses, how to spot them, and ways to treat them.
