Description

Discover the earliest known writings by a female doctor in China with Miscellaneous Records of a Female Doctor. Published by The Chinese Medicine Database, this volume features 31 medical cases authored by Tan Yunxian and translated by Lorraine Wilcox with Yue Lu. Because Tan Yunxian primarily treated women, these records provide unique insights into female pathology that male practitioners often could not access due to the strict modesty requirements of the time. This historical text offers a rare look into the medical practices and patient experiences of women in ancient China.
