Descriere
Shows how nineteenth-century American physicians used anatomy to develop a professional identity, while claiming authority over the living and the dead. This book introduces the middle-class women and men, working people, entrepreneurs, and health reformers who resisted and exploited anatomy to articulate their own social identities and visions.
