Excerpt from The Diseases of Woman: Their Causes and Cure Familiarly Explained; With Practical Hints for Their Prevention, and for the Preservation of Female Health My object being papular instruction, I have of course made all my explanations as familiar as possible, and have either altogether avoided names and words not generally nu derstood, or else given an explanation of them. Everything not strictly necessary to an understanding of the subject, or in any way objectionable has been carefully avoided, but nothing has been omitted that is really essential, even though its novelty, and opposition to preconceived opinions, may at first startle the unthinking or offend the prejudiced.

From an acclaimed author in the field, this is a compelling study of the origins and history of the disease commonly seen as afflicting young unmarried girls. Understanding of the condition turned puberty and virginity into medical conditions, and Helen King stresses the continuity of this disease through history,depsite enormous shifts in medical understanding and technonologies, and drawing parallels with the modern illness of anorexia. Examining its roots in the classical tradition all the way through to its extraordinary survival into the 1920s, this study asks a number of questions about the nature of the disease itself and the relationship between illness, body images and what we should call‘normal’ behaviour. This is a fascinating and clear account which will prove invaluable not just to students of classical studies, but will be of interest to medical professionals also.
