{"product_id":"pushkins-tatiana-9780299164041","title":"Pushkin's Tatiana","description":"In the last decades of the nineteenth century, two thousand women physicians formed a significant and lively scientific community in the United States. Many were active writers; they participated in the development of medical record-keeping and research, and they wrote self-help books, social and political essays, fiction, and poetry. \u003ci\u003eOut of the Dead House\u003c\/i\u003e rediscovers the contributions these women made to the developing practice of medicine and to a community of women in science.\u003cbr\u003e Susan Wells combines studies of medical genres, such as the patient history or the diagnostic conversation, with discussions of individual writers. The women she discusses include Ann Preston, the first woman dean of a medical college; Hannah Longshore, a successful practitioner who combined conventional and homeopathic medicine; Rebecca Crumpler, the first African American woman physician to publish a medical book; and Mary Putnam Jacobi, writer of more than 180 medical articles and several important books. Wells shows how these women learned to write, what they wrote, and how these texts were read.\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eOut of the Dead House\u003c\/i\u003e also documents the ways that women doctors influenced medical discourse during the formation of the modern profession. They invented forms and strategies for medical research and writing, including methods of using survey information, taking patient histories, and telling case histories. \u003ci\u003eOut of the Dead House\u003c\/i\u003e adds a critical episode to the developing story of women as producers and critics of culture, including scientific culture.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Olga Hasty\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Wisconsin Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/12\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Publications of the Wisconsin Center for Pushkin Studies\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.86lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.06h x 6.04w x 0.63d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780299164041","brand":"University of Wisconsin Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42710654550153,"sku":"9780299164041","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_3f63050b-2026-485a-8f0b-fc47b80ec641.jpg?v=1719540963","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/pushkins-tatiana-9780299164041","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
