In this provocative study, Barbara Duden asserts that the most basic biological and medical terms that we use to describe our own bodies-male and female, healthy or sick-are indeed cultural constructions. To illustrate this, Duden delves into the records of an eighteenth-century German physician who meticulously documented the medical histories of eighteen hundred women of all ages and backgrounds, often in their own words. | Woman beneath the Skin by Barbara Duden, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
