Duden asserts that the most basic biological and medical terms that we use to describe our own bodies-male and female, healthy or sick-are cultural constructions. To illustrate this, she delves into records of an 18th-century German physician who documented the medical histories of 1,800 women of all ages and backgrounds, often in their own words.
