Explore the historical understanding of women's health with Edward Jorden's ""A Briefe Discourse of a Disease called the Suffocation of the Mother."" This important early work examines the condition then known as ""suffocation of the mother,"" a malady associated with hysteria and believed to be connected to uterine disease. Jorden's discourse offers a window into the early medical perspectives on women's health, specifically addressing the uterus and its perceived displacements.

A fascinating glimpse into the history of gynecology and obstetrics, this book provides insights into the medical beliefs and scientific thought of the time. Delve into the historical context surrounding the diagnosis and treatment of what was once considered a prevalent condition affecting women. This republication presents Jorden's original work, meticulously prepared for a new readership interested in the history of medicine and the evolution of scientific understanding of the female body. A vital resource for anyone studying the history of science or women's health.
