17. things that really freaked me out when I started reading about
women's history in the 60s
...in the writings of some/many? early christian church fathers, there was a serious debate over whether or not women have souls
...the resistance--on the part of the medical profession in the 19th cent--to using any form of anesthesia in childbirth because 'the bible says that women must pay for the sin of Eve by suffering in childbirth'.....this was apparently changed when Queen Victoria got/demanded ? help in childbirth
