La Nymphomanie, Ou, Traité De La Fureur Utérine by J. D. T. de Bienville offers a historical perspective on the medical understanding of nymphomania during the 18th century. Written in French, this treatise, subtitled ""Dans Lequel On Explique, Avec Autant De Clarté Que De Méthode, Les Commencemens ......,"" delves into the perceived causes, symptoms, and treatments of what was then considered a disease of the uterus, also referred to as 'uterine furor.'
This book provides insight into the historical context of medical thought, particularly regarding women's health and sexuality. It serves as a valuable resource for those interested in the history of medicine, the evolution of psychiatric understanding, and the social attitudes surrounding female sexuality in 18th-century France. Bienville's work offers a unique glimpse into the past, illustrating how medical conditions were defined and treated within a specific cultural and scientific framework.
