About this book

Perilous Chastity: Women and Illness in Pre-Enlightenment Art and Medicine by Dixon, Laurinda S.. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780801482151.

"Wonderfully engaging, this unique study shows how art reveals a misogynistic medical establishments attitudes toward women. Dixon traces the origins of hysteria, richly illustrating her analysis with more than 100 paintings from the 13th through the 18th centuries, focusing primarily on 17th-century Dutch works."--Publishers Weekly
