Yi-Li Wu is an independent scholar and a Center Associate of the Center for Chinese Studies, University of Michigan.
This innovative book uses the lens of cultural history to examine the development of medicine in Qing dynasty China. Focusing on the specialty of “medicine for women”(fuke), Yi-Li Wu explores the material and ideological issues associated with childbearing in the late imperial period. She draws on a rich array of medical writings that circulated in seventeenth- to nineteenth-century China to analyze the points of convergence and contention that shaped people's views of women's reproductive diseases. These points of contention touched on fundamental issues: How different were women's bodies from men's? What drugs were best for promoting conception and preventing miscarriage? Was childbirth inherently dangerous? And who was best qualified to judge? Wu shows that late imperial medicine approached these questions with a new, positive perspective.

写的超级用心
评分终于把它看完了。
评分文章結構是從醫書的流通和自證合法性開始,再講婦女的產前,生產和產後護理. 在結論中,不同與Furth的論點(她把黃帝內經中中國古代身體觀抽象為androgynous entity, 同時宋代以來越來越強調gender difference,從而產生婦科), Wu 引入語言學的inflectional morphology來解釋中國醫學的身體觀—an infinitive body, being conjugated into male and female, into the young and old, depending on different circumstances.
评分嚴謹之作,到了結論才進入理論層面的發揮。主要在反駁Charlotte Furth對中國身體的觀點。
