This was an excellent article. Thank you so much.💕 it’s pretty horrifying how many women suffered at advance of doctors who didn’t have any clue about how their bodies actually worked. Not like now, she said sarcastically.
I had not heard about this greensickness business! Also, really good reads this post made me think of: Womb by Leah Hazard, The White Hotel by D.M. Thomas, and The Manningtree Witches by A.K. Blakemore.
Excellent read on important historical topics. I cringe at the term pubertal, I have to admit. Still your style, attention to detail, and references are first rate!

Greensickness - that’s new to me - wow. Excellent article. Thank you for sharing it!
Great column, I was familiar with hysteria but not the green sickness.
This kind of column, I think, calls for thinking deeply about what we may be doing that is in the same vein.
I had been wondering about green sickness ever since I read A Net for Small Fishes!
