Lecture Notes: Wandering wombs and wicked water
UCL Events (Jessica Lowrie)
Wandering wombs and wicked water – women’s complaints and their treatment. By Dr Nicholas Reeves.
Wandering wombs and wicked water – women’s complaints and their treatment. By Dr Nicholas Reeves.
This evening event to mark International Women’s Day was held in the UCL Petrie Museum and was remarkably well-attended.
Dr Carole Reeves from the UCL Centre for the History of Medicine delivered an insightful talk, helpfully leaving plenty of time at the end for some engaging questions from the interested audience.
The Kahun Gynaecological Papyrus is the oldest known medical text, dating from Egypt’s Middle Kingdom (2025-1700 BC) and was used as the basis for the talk.
Dr Reeves used this historical artefact to discuss some of the similarities between complaints in women today and in the ancient world, but also examining the differences in how these problems were perceived and treated.
