Best known for creating a modern hospital and medical education program for women, Zakrzewska battled against the gendering of science and the restrictive definitions of her sex. In \u003ci\u003eScience Has No Sex\u003c\/i\u003e, Arleen Tuchman examines the life and work of a woman who continues to challenge historians of gender to this day.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt a time when most women physicians laid claim to \"female\" qualities of care and nurturance to justify their professional choice, Zakrzewska insisted that all physicians, regardless of gender, should depend upon the rational faculties developed through training in the natural sciences. She viewed science as a democratizing tool -- anyone could master science, she asserted, and therefore the doors to the elite profession of medicine should be opened to all.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShedding light on the changes that radically transformed medicine in the late nineteenth century, Tuchman's analysis also demonstrates how Zakrzewska's activism is important to the ongoing debate over the relationship between science and sex.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Arleen Marcia Tuchman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of North Carolina Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/15\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781469615172\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eTuchman, Arleen Marcia:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eArleen Marcia Tuchman is professor of history and affiliated member of the program in women's and gender studies at Vanderbilt University.
