Reviews

This volume deserves to be widely read and cited; it could be assigned to both upper-level undergraduate and graduate students. -- Kristen Ann Ehrenberger, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center * Central European History * Women Doctors in Weimar and Nazi Germany is an original and thoughtful study that analyses the experience of women doctors to ask fundamental questions about the opportunities and limits of women's careers and agency in two very different political systems. In doing so, she looks at the ways in which the activities of women doctors both were shaped by and transformed important aspects of German biopolitics, which Kravetz understands as the processes of controlling both individual bodies and the collective body for the purposes of the state. -- Michael Hau, Monash University * <em> Review in German History</em> *
