Ad for The Diseases of Women
A simple ad for a new book or publication, it is surrounded by many others, like The Family Physician or A Handbook of Nursing. What is relevant about this entry is not that it was being marketed to women, as surely this was meant for an educated male doctor to peruse instead, but that there was even a concept or desire for a book about women's diseases. This shows that women were viewed strongly as other, and this particular view/idea does not change across the course of this project, as an article earlier in this volume speaks about the hardship of raising funds for a women's hospital, and later, there is an advertisement for a homeopathic hospital exclusively for women. In many ways, the medical institutions of the time were able to control unacceptable women with very little fuss, as was discussed in The Woman in White.
