Some time ago, when I was hate-reading a “history” written by a woman without any qualifications or apparent scruples, @stripedroseandsketchpads asked for recommendations of books on similar subjects written by Qualified Historians. I only had a few recs at the time, but then I found this when cleaning out my office! What’s more, you can acquire a hardback for just over $30, and an ebook for about half that. And you can listen to this podcast interview about it any time. Dr. Crane (now retired) is a brilliant feminist scholar, and the book reflects both her experience and her historical empathy.Forthcoming and also relevant is Alisha Rankin’s The Poison Trials: Wonder Drugs, Experiment, and the Battle for Authority in Renaissance Science, which I can’t wait to get my hands on. -- source link
