The Women's Health Information Center, offered by editors of the Journal of the American Medical Association, provides the latest research and clinical information on women's health issues for physicians and other health professionals. Users can browse the gallery of 50 images or take a more in-depth tour of the woman's suffrage movement. This new site from the Harvard School of Public Health explores the varied ways in which scientific and medical technologies affect broader processes of social reproduction. With full length articles, related links, and course syllabi, the site examines issues such as contemporary discourses on gender and reproduction, race and reproductive technologies, procreative and contraceptive technologies, the medicalization of birth, and teaching science, technology, and the body. The report also indicates that the underlying cause of the problem is the large number of male guards in US women's prisons and their unrestricted access to women's cells, which contravenes UN standards.
Users can read the full text of the report as well as stories and fact sheets at the site.
This manual is designed to assist those who treat women with gynecologic problems and offer guidance for the continuing care of these women, particularly in isolated settings where gynecologic consultation is not readily available. As in most areas of medicine, there may be more than one way to deal with any particular gynecologic problem. For simplicity, one basic approach is usually given here. Each module contains an introductory essay and, in most cases, between fifteen and twenty primary documents. The modules have potential in classrooms as either discrete learning units or perhaps as examples to students on how to incorporate primary documents in their essays.
