"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."
