Abstract

The biography of a Russian physician E. S. Drenteln is reconstructed based on the literary sources and official documents of the Russian local self-government bodies (zemstvo). The paper describes the landmarks in her life journey: her origin and education, her work as a general practitioner at the Rukavishnikov Infirmary of the Moscow Governorate and later, as a gynecologist in the hospitals in Kharkov: municipal children’s and gynecological outpatient infirmary and a private infirmary named “The Women’s Practice” (Zhenskoye delo). The paper describes Drenteln’s contribution to the organization of social medicine to provide medical services to the poor, the respective arrangements and principles of functioning. Drenteln’s writings are also analyzed: her didactic works (instructions and recommendations for women concerning pregnancy, women’s and children’s diseases, and childrearing); her popular lectures and brochures on the anatomy, physiology, and hygiene woman’s organism; and her overarching treatise devoted to gender relationships and harmonization of man’s and woman’s interests, given their natural differences.
