| Description: | International audience ; Ancient, Medieval and Renaissance medical treatises written by physicians contain information pertaining to various categories of people involved in healthcare. In the case of specific patients, women and children, female assistance by midwives and nurses is indispensable; female auxiliaries often replace the physician in crucial moments such as birth or swaddling. When specific technical skills or professional activities regarding medicinal substances are concerned, druggists step on stage. Female ‘paramedics’ are not academics or learned persons like physicians. Druggists could be learned botanists or simple merchants; whatever their learning and training may be, their social position differs from the physician’s. Our aim is to focus on midwives and nurses in order to examine a gendered medical practice by people who did not study it in an academic context. We will also compare female to male paramedics |
