Agnodice.jpg
*AGNOCIDE: or Agnodike was the earliest historical, and likely apocryphal, midwife mentioned among the ancient Greeks. She was a native of Athens, where it was forbidden by law for women or slaves to study medicine. According, however, to Hyginus, on whose authority alone the whole story rests, Agnodice disguised herself in men's clothing, and attended the lectures of a physician named Hierophilus, devoting herself chiefly to the study of midwifery and gynaecology
Trotula of Salerno Miscellanea medica XVIII Early 14th Century.jpg
*TROTULA DE SALERNO mientras las Cruzadas arrasaban Maarat, Trótula Ruggiero moría en Salerno.

Como la Historia estaba ocupada registrando las hazañas de los guerreros de Cristo, no es mucho lo que se sabe de ella. Se sabe que un cortejo de treinta cuadras la acompañó al cementerio y que fue la primera mujer que escribió un tratado de ginecología, obstetricia y puericultura. Las mujeres no se atreven a mostrar ante un médico hombre, por pudor y por innata reserva, sus partes íntimas, escribió Trótula. Su tratado recogía la experiencia de una mujer ayudando a otras mujeres en asuntos delicados: Ellas le abrían el cuerpo y el alma, y le confiaban secretos que los hombres no comprendían ni merecían. Trótula les enseñaba a aliviar la viudez, a simular la virginidad, a sobrellevar el parto y sus trastornos, a evitar el mal aliento, a blanquear la piel y los dientes y a reparar de los años el irreparable ultraje. La cirugía estaba de moda, pero Trótula no creía en el cuchillo. Ella prefería otras terapias: la mano, las hierbas, el oído. Daba masajes cariñosos, recetaba infusiones y sabía escuchar. Espejos. Una historia casi universal Eduardo Galeano
