A feminist perspective on the history of medicine<\/a> The history of women in medicine\u00a0began to be written at the end of the 19th century, influenced by the suffragette struggles and by the interest in sexuality that emerged from the 1970s onwards in the academic world, in connection with the movements for the rights of women to contraception and abortion. This interview with researcher Teresa Ortiz-G\u00f3mez explores the contributions of feminism to the history of medicine. According to the researcher, feminism has betrayed history and interest by studying the medical ideas of all times about ‘the woman’ and the female body; the professional, domestic, scientific, and political activities of women related to health; and the experiences of health and illness of women themselves. Teresa Ortiz-G\u00f3mez is a professor of history of science at the University of Granada. She has been working with a feminist perspective on the history of medicine for over 30 years.<\/p>\n Gender, women, and science<\/span><\/a>\u00a0This special dossier of HCS-Manguinhos published in 2008 is entirely dedicated to gender, women, and science.

Historia y feminismo en Am\u00e9rica Latina<\/a> The book by the Argentine historian Dora Barrancos condenses the significant events of the feminisms of the 20th century in the region, its protagonists, and demands. According to the author, the first wave of feminism in the region was characterized by the so-called “maternalism,” when women began claiming their rights as mothers but did not question their reproductive role. Concerning the central claims of the feminist movements in Latin America, the author highlighted\u00a0the fight for civil, political, educational, and remunerative rights. In contrast,\u00a0other authors have privileged the right to suffrage.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.revistahcsm.coc.fiocruz.br\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Ourbodiesourselves-1973.jpeg\")

Activism in the history of medicine<\/a> Dr. Susan M. Reverby is Professor Emerita in Women’s and Gender Studies at Wellesley College. Throughout her career, she sought to combine her interests in women’s studies, health activism, race, and public health ethics. In this interview, among other topics, she talked about the dialogue between women’s studies and the history of medicine in the US: “My position at Wellesley College, where I taught for 34 years, was in Women’s Studies, not history. So it forced me to think about gender in multiple ways. Regarding my work, I was originally trained as an undergraduate in labor history. I worked for a left health think tank in the early 1970s, was a women’s health activist, and then went to graduate school. My dissertation, then book, focused on nurses since it combined all my interests: health, women, workers, and activism.” she said. ![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.revistahcsm.coc.fiocruz.br\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Teresa-home-final-150x133.jpg\")
