Medicine by and for Medieval Women (as Told by Men)

Naama Cohen-Hanegbi, Tel Aviv University February 13, 2025 Jewish women had diverse roles in late medieval medical practice: They were patients, healers and caregivers, and they produced medical knowledge too. Through male physicians’ writings Naama Cohen-Hanegbi traces this mostly unknown history. Healing Women in Jewish History New histories of medicine and the body offer a more direct vantage on women’s experiences than traditional approaches mediated through the sources and concerns of men. This series explores what we know about women as both practitioners and patients throughout Jewish history, and what we stand to learn from such scholarship about women’s lives more generally.
