"These texts were written in the vernacular for a readership of physicians and surgeons but also of midwives and lay women. So they present important evidence that, contrary to stereotypes, women were the recipients of medical texts written specifically for them. More generally, these texts demonstrate a strong interest in women's health, indicating that early modern physicians and surgeons had a new interest in the specificity of female anatomy and women's diseases. The texts selected and translated in this volume allow the reader to access an important group of primary sources on issues related to women's health, including childbirth and caesarean section, sterility, miscarriage, breastfeeding, etc. The selection of texts is well organized and coherent, the translation is accurate and fluent, and the texts are adequately annotated, so the book will be easily used by scholars and students, including undergraduates. It provides evidence of a new concern and attention for women's health needs, which, most interestingly, often went hand-in-hand with the rejection of misogynist stereotypes and the challenging of conventional views of female subordination and inferiority."  - Gianna Pomata  Professor of the History of Medicine, Johns Hopkins University

L'HOMME

Tout le monde connaît Jacques Duval, mais personne ne sait qui se cache véritablement derrière l'instigateur du fameux Guide de l'auto. Et si on vous disait qu'il a côtoyé Gilbert Bécaud et Yves Montand, qu'il a été voyant, maître de cérémonie dans les cabarets, disc-jockey, apothicaire et coureur automobile? Nul doute, c'est le parcours d'un homme étonnant que vous découvrirez ici, dans cette autobiographie à la fois surprenante, drôle et touchante. L'autobiographie d'un « gars de chars » de 73 ans qui est toujours dans la course. En plus de son riche cahier-photos, cet ouvrage - qui plaira tant aux mordus de voitures qu'aux lecteurs avides de biographies - comporte deux sections spéciales : une portant sur les quelque 2 500 voitures que Jacques Duval a conduites dans sa vie et une autre sur les courses auxquelles il a participé. Jacques Duval n'a jamais souscrit à l'idée que toute vérité n'est pas bonne à dire. Il a bâti sa carrière en disant ce qu'il pensait, au risque d'offenser les jeunes vedettes montantes ou de ralentir les ventes des constructeurs automobiles. Que ce soit au début de sa carrière à Télé-Métropole avec son célèbre cimetière du disque - son invention - ou plus tard, comme chroniqueur automobile, Jacques Duval a longtemps secoué la baraque, à tel point que Marie-France Bazzo l'avait baptisé « le terroriste des ondes »... Qu'on se le tienne pour dit : Jacques Duval n'a pas encore accroché son casque! Dans ce livre, ce personnage à la fois craint et respecté nous relate les principales étapes d'une vie mouvementée, levant le voile sur un grand pan de son intimité : ses relations avec les femmes, le cancer qu'il a vaincu et... la chirurgie esthétique. Fidèle à ses habitudes, Duval va en écorcher plusieurs au passage en respectant son leitmotiv : dire la vérité, que cela plaise ou non.
