Dr. Mary Putnam Jacobi - komorebi - Dec 9 2024
NYT, Dec 6 2024.
A review of THE CURE FOR WOMEN: Dr. Mary Putnam Jacobi and the Challenge to Victorian Medicine That Changed Women’s Lives Forever, a book by Lydia Reeder on Dr. Mary Putnam Jacobi—physician, teacher, and suffragist. In 1876 (or thereabouts), she wrote an influential paper rebutting the idea that menstruation is a pathology that should prevent women from participating fully in society.

Wikipedia Her scientific rebuttal of the popular idea that menstruation made women unsuited to education was influential in the fight for women's educational opportunities.

It's never too late to learn about women in history who've paved the way for others. So much women's history seems to be suppressed or just outright ignored because men still hold most of the power, and they don't see women's achievements as relevant or historical, the way they see men's achievements.
