March 8th, International Women’s Day<\/p>\n

On\u00a0International Women’s Day, we highlight interviews we did with women researchers for our blog. The topics covered are as varied as their research areas. Some interviews are dedicated to issues related to women, such as feminism in the history of science and medicine and reproductive rights. Other interviews explore such issues as race, eugenics, science communication, mental health, the political dimension of health, and other themes explored in our journal.<\/p>\n

Activism in the history of medicine<\/a>\u00a0Dr. Susan M. Reverby is Professor Emerita in Women\u2019s and Gender Studies at Wellesley College. Throughout her career, she sought to combine her interests in women\u2019s studies, health activism, race, and public health ethics. In this interview, among other topics, she talked about the dialogue between women\u2019s studies and the history of medicine in the US: \u201cMy position at Wellesley College, where I taught for 34 years, was in Women\u2019s 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\u2019s 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.\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

A feminist perspective on the history of medicine<\/a>\u00a0The 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 \u2018the woman\u2019 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
