Résumé

In "Fasting Girls: Their Physiology and Pathology, " William A. Hammond explores the intricate relationship between food intake, mental health, and societal pressures on women during the late 19th century. Hammond meticulously examines cases of self-induced starvation, often motivated by societal ideals of femininity and moral virtue. Employing a blend of medical observation and psychological insight, he delves into the physiological effects of extreme fasting, presenting a critical perspective on how such practices intersect with contemporary ideas about health and morality.
This work is situated within the burgeoning field of psychophysiology, revealing the complexities of women's health narratives in a period marked by evolving gender roles and medical understanding. William A. Hammond, a prominent psychiatrist of his time and a pioneer in studying the interplay between mind and body, was deeply influenced by the medical paradigms and societal expectations surrounding women's health.
His background in neurology, paired with personal observations and experiences, provides a grounded framework to understand the phenomena of 'fasting girls.' Hammond's scholarly reputation, bolstered by his work as a military surgeon and mental health advocate, informs his compassionate yet clinical approach to this unique subject. "Fasting Girls" is an essential read for anyone interested in the intersections of gender, health, and societal norms.
Hammond's groundbreaking insights remain relevant today, inviting readers to reflect on the continuing dialogue surrounding body image, mental illness, and the quest for identity. This thought-provoking examination is not only pivotal for scholars of medical history but also for anyone seeking to understand the legacy of societal expectations on women's health.
