Abstract
I'd like to be able to say that Diana Scully and Pauline Bart's critique of gynaecological textbooks, and the misogynistic message that they convey, is of interest only for historical reasons. I'd like to be able to say that in the 30 years since they turned a critical feminist gaze on the pronouncements of this particular group of medical men, a more enlightened, egalitarian view of women's bodies, women's sexuality and of reproduction has emerged. But I can't. Only the rhetoric and the focus have changed.
