This is a quick update after our class meeting last week. Suggestions from class, I need a throughline like a podcast with the same name for my website. I am working on the concept of women in medicine and how they were treated in the gilded age. The pages outline is there but still working on getting images and the textual discussion. I plan to do work on the history of what was eclectic medicine and how the largest medical school of eclectic medicine had textbooks that rivaled allopathic medical schools. Within this history is the history of these professors and how they treated women patients while also accepting more women in their ranks than in traditional medical schools.
Technically, I downloaded a different Omeka theme that is bright and more consistent with the Gilded Age. I want to continue the transcription of the case notes while putting in the images of some plants and information about the history of women as patients. Interestingly, the cost of medicine for the time was high and was paid per the ledgers without difficulty.
