  • Resumen

  • We welcome our special guest historian to discuss an overview of issues affecting medical history and it's approaches to women's health during the late 19th century into the early 20th. We'll talk about Anthony Comstock and his silly morality-influenced laws, discuss early forms of contraception, and will examine all of this amidst the cultural milieu of the era.

    We'll go out on a limb and say the doctors of this age were a bit behind the times and we're happy to laugh at their expense.
