| Summary | "The Female Physician" by John Maubray is a medical treatise written in the early 18th century. This comprehensive work addresses various diseases specific to women, including those affecting virgins, wives, and widows, and offers preventive measures and treatments. It also delves into midwifery, emphasizing the skills necessary for practitioners and providing guidance for childbirth. This text serves as both a reference for medical professionals and a resource for women seeking knowledge about their health. The opening of the book begins with a dedication to learned societies in the medical field, emphasizing the author's intent to provide a substantial work that addresses women's health issues overlooked by male physicians. The author reflects on the historical context of medical knowledge and the necessity of understanding female-specific conditions. Following the dedication, the preface outlines the book's structure and content, suggesting that it will detail not only the various diseases faced by women across different stages of life but also practical instructions for midwives. The author aims to compile and clarify existing knowledge while interspersing philosophical reflections, all intended to serve both educated readers and those less familiar with medical literature.
