Women's Anger

"One area of focus in the original edition was patient as victim; by the second edition, women were no longer characterized as victims of doctors — at least not so loudly. But they weren’t their equals, either. In the early editions, women were medical subjects, objects of study. Learning to challenge institutional knowledge, and their treatment by those institutions, was as important as learning about their own bodies."
