Restoring the Balance
From about 1850, American women physicians won gradual acceptance from male colleagues and the general public, primarily as caregivers to women and children.

Sympathy and Science
When first published in 1985, Sympathy and Science was hailed as a groundbreaking study of women in medicine. It remains the most comprehensive history of American women physicians available. Tracing the participation of women in the medical profession from the colonial period to the present, Regina Morantz-Sanchez examines women's roles as nurses, midwives, and practitioners of folk medicine in early America; recounts their successful struggles in the nineteenth century to enter medical schools and found their own institutions and organizations; and follows female physicians into the twentieth century, exploring their efforts to sustain significant and rewarding professional lives without sacrificing the other privileges and opportunities of womanhood. In a new preface, the author surveys recent scholarship and comments on the changing world of women in medicine over the past two decades. Despite extraordinary advances, she concludes, women physicians continue to grapple with many of the issues that troubled their predecessors.

Stimme – Sprechen – Theater
Sprechkunst und Sprechbildung zählen zu den Kernbereichen der Sprechwissenschaft in Forschung, Lehre und Praxis. Der Band Stimme – Sprechen – Theater. Sprechwissenschaft im Dialog bietet ein Update zur aktuellen wissenschaftlichen und praktischen Zusammenarbeit von universitärer Sprechwissenschaft und Schulen sowie Hochschulen für Schauspielkunst und Musik. Im transdisziplinären Austausch zwischen Forschung und Praxis liegen die Schwerpunkte auf der Diskussion bewährter und neuer Ansätze zur Theorie und Methodik sowie auf den aktuellen Anforderungen der künstlerischen Praxis. Konkret geht es dabei u. a. um besondere Aspekte der gestischen Kommunikation und des chorischen Sprechens, um Lachen und Weinen auf der Bühne, um künstliche Stimmen und um die „Theatralität“ in der Sprechkunst. Daneben kommen auch Themen wie das Textlernen und die im Schauspielberuf stets präsenten Stimmstörungen zur Sprache. Ein Überblick zu einschlägigen Forschungsarbeiten an der Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg rundet den Band ab.
