What an amazing story - the story of this
physician and early sex researcher!
But she ended her life writing letters to a "friend"
who didn't exist, an expression of her intense loneliness. She had
no actual friends to open her heart to.
You have to read elsewhere
about the life of this Stanford and Johns Hopkins medical school graduate
who paid a price for being a woman in a man's medical
world. Women still pay that price.
Read an article about her (rediscovered) sex
survey of Victorian women, which revealed that the interviewed ladies
mostly enjoyed sex. I wonder if any needed help from Dr.
Pierce's machines.
In the meantime, read her book that shattered many myths about women's
problems - and her proffered solutions.
