Reviews

From the reviews: As the title states, this book tells the story of endometriosis. It describes the findings, beliefs, and developments of many of the physicians who were pioneers in the field of endometriosis. ! It is written for historians and physicians, and it specifically targets those with an interest in the history of medicine. ! this is a well-referenced and excellently written historical account of an important medical topic we are still trying to fully comprehend. (Patricia T. Jimenez, Doody's Review Service, December, 2011)
