Medicine and the Making of Roman Women - Flemming, Rebecca (Lecturer in Ancient History, Lecturer in Ancient History, King's College London)

Dr Flemming has written a book about women and medicine in the first centuries of the Roman Empire, an important but neglected period. It is about female medical practitioners and patients in the Roman world, what male doctors wrote about women, how they understood them, and the wider effects their ideas and writings had upon women's lives.
