The Misceginistic Practice of Gynecology

There are few individuals as sensitive to suffering as Jeffrey Mousaieff Masson, fewer still with his literary talent; perhaps only he could have produced this book. A well-translated purview of the dark history and "origin" of gynecology as it is still practiced today ... a crime against women, rather than healthcare.
