The True Medicine (Volume 4) (The Other Voice in Early Modern Europe: The Toronto Series)

One of the first printed medical texts to be attributed to a female author, "The True Medicine" (1587) is radically innovative in its rejection of contemporary medical theory for a more pro-feminist physiology and cosmology. With unprecedented clarity and care, Gianna Pomata brings an important text in the history of scientific authorship to the attention of modern-day readers.
