Women's Bodies in Classical Greek Science
Dean-Jones, Lesley (Assistant Professor of Classics, Assistant Professor of Classics, University of Texas at Austin, USA)
This analysis of scientific theories concerning women's bodies in authors such as the Hippocratics and Aristotle, demonstrates the centrality of menstruation in classical theories of female physiology, pathology, and reproduction and suggests that this had negative and positive repercussions in attitudes towards women's bodies in society.
