Tokology

About this book

Tokology: A Book for Every Woman by Dr. Alice B. Stockham is a comprehensive guide to women's health, pregnancy, childbirth, and infant care, first published in the late 19th century. Written by one of the first female physicians in the United States, this pioneering work addresses the physical, emotional, and social aspects of womanhood with a progressive and compassionate approach. The book covers a wide range of topics, including anatomy and physiology, hygiene, diet, exercise, and the stages of pregnancy and labor. It offers practical advice on prenatal care, natural childbirth, and the care of newborns, emphasizing the importance of education, self-reliance, and preventive health measures. Dr. Stockham also discusses issues such as contraception, sexual health, and the moral responsibilities of motherhood, advocating for women's empowerment and autonomy in matters of health and family life. Richly detailed and illustrated, Tokology serves as both a medical reference and a social manifesto, reflecting the era's growing interest in women's rights and the improvement of maternal and child health. Its holistic perspective and accessible language made it a trusted resource for generations of women, and it remains a fascinating historical document that sheds light on the evolution of women's healthcare.
