Title: Medical Bondage Author: Deirdre Cooper Owens Narrator: Allyson Johnson Format: mp3 Length: 5 hrs and 39 mins Release date: 05-07-19 Ratings: 4.5 out of 5 stars, 187 ratings Genres: Women Publisher's Summary: In Medical Bondage, Cooper Owens examines a wide range of scientific literature and less formal communications in which gynecologists created and disseminated medical fictions about their patients, such as their belief that black enslaved women could withstand pain better than white "ladies". Even as they were advancing medicine, these doctors were legitimizing, for decades to come, groundless theories related to whiteness and blackness, men and women, and the inferiority of other races or nationalities.
