For Her Own Good: Two Centuries of the Experts' Advice to Women by Deirdre English, Barbara Ehrenreich

3.0

The book is slightly outdated and a bit simplistic at times, but it is a very eye-opening history of gynecology, home economics and the application of science to child-rearing: that is, to the way that scientific and pseudo-scientific experts have told women what to do with their lives.
