For Her Own Good: Two Centuries of the Experts Advice to Women by Deirdre English, Barbara Ehrenreich

3.0

So I got this book thinking it would have a ton of medical experiments in it that effected women. Instead it was more of just a recount of the trends in feminism for the last two centuries. It was interesting how the history of medicine went from a typical female oriented profession to exclusively male, that progression was interesting. However, the last quarter of the book just seemed to fizzle. If you like feminist history this might be more interesting, I liked it, but it just wasn't what I thought it was going to be about.
