Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Tokology: A Book for Every Woman is a comprehensive guide to women's health and reproductive anatomy written by Alice B. Stockham. The book covers a wide range of topics, including menstruation, pregnancy, childbirth, and menopause, as well as advice on diet, exercise, and hygiene. Stockham's approach is holistic and emphasizes the importance of understanding one's own body and taking responsibility for one's health. The book includes detailed illustrations and diagrams to help readers better understand the female reproductive system and how it functions. Originally published in 1886, Tokology was considered groundbreaking for its frank and informative approach to women's health, and it remains a valuable resource for women today.1891. Victorian reformer Alice Bunker Stockham was an Ob-Gyn from Chicago, and the fifth woman to be made a doctor in the United States. She lectured against the use of corsets by women, made public endorsements of the healthiness of masturbation for both men and women (If God did not want you to experience these beautiful feelings, he would not have given you the ability to experience them or the desire to produce them), advocated complete abstinence from alcohol and tobacco, and believed in women's rights. Her book, Tokology (the Greek word for obstetrics), is a layperson's text on gynecology and midwifery.
