UNLIKELY ENTREPRENEURS: CATHOLIC SISTERS & THE HOSPITAL MARKETPLACE, 1865-1925: WOMEN GENDER AND HEALTH
Autor BARBARA MANN WALLen Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 ian 2021
Wall places the development of Catholic hospital systems (located in Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, Texas, and Utah) owned and operated by Catholic sisters within the larger social, economic, and medical history of the time. In the modern health care climate, with the influences of corporations, federal laws, spiraling costs, managed care, and medical practices that rely less on human judgments and more on technological innovations, the “modern” hospital reflects a dim memory of the past. This book will inform future debates on who will provide health care as the sisters depart, how costs will be met, who will receive care, and who will be denied access to health services.

Recenzii
“Unlikely Entrepreneurs is an important text on a much neglected topic. It is a fascinating story of the women who built the social institutions that we take for granted” —Sioban Nelson, The University of Melbourne
“Unlikely Entrepreneurs is a ground-breaking study that brings together major issues in the history of medicine, women’s history, and immigration history in a unique and highly original manner. Wall shows a great sensitivity toward her subjects and shows how they negotiated their way through the uncertain medical marketplace of nineteenth- and early twentieth-century America. This is a highly readable book suitable for anyone interested in the intersection between gender, medicine, and spirituality both past and present.” —Heather Munro Prescott, Central Connecticut State University
