Book synopsis

Few specialties have a longer or richer eponymous background than obstetrics and gynaecology, and eponyms add a human side to an increasingly technical profession. This book provides an introductory profile of 365 of the most significant and fascinating characters in the history of obstetrics and gynaecology. The subjects are not confined to eponyms but also include other notable names in the development of the speciality, as well as several from other specialties whose contributions are relevant to obstetrics and gynaecology. For each entry, biographical data are provided and the eponym or work for which they are known is outlined with context. Where available, the original and linked references are provided. A bibliography of linked references will assist readers wanting more detailed information on individual subjects.
