It was well-written and seemingly well-researched. - Goodreads Light reading for intro-feminists. - Goodreads Strong, clear writing throughout. - Goodreads I also found the writing style to be convoluted. - Goodreads Review: For Her Own Good: Two Centuries of the Experts' Advice to WomenUser Review - Ida - GoodreadsInteresting read - I learned a lot of things I didn't know about the origin of old "truths". However, I think the title should have been "experts' advice to women in the United States" to emphasize that the book focuses on the US. Read full review Review: For Her Own Good: Two Centuries of the Experts' Advice to WomenUser Review - GoodreadsInformative in some parts, but essentialist and sort of emotional in general. Almost making up a (somehow unified and all-in-all kindhearted) medicine Other for the sake of critique of the professionalism and capitalism that dominate medicine now. Related books
