Riassunto

Johann Storch, a physician who lived and worked in the town of Eisenach, Germany, during the first half of the 18th century, documented the medical histories of some 1,800 women of all ages and social stations, often in their own words. Duden (fellow, Institute for Cultural Studies, Essen, Germany) uses this material to reveal how people of another time experienced the body how the doctor and his patients envisioned the inside of the female body and how these ideas shaped their actions and gave meaning to their experiences.
