Although neither sibling was especially interested in women’s health, the lack of opportunities available to them in the field of medicine meant that they mostly treated female patients and were often limited to obstetric and gynecological care. Blackwell, who was born in England in 1821, and immigrated to the United States with her family as a child, was America’s first female doctor. When one of her relatives faced the prospect of being treated with one, she argued for less invasive interventions and cautioned that the scarring resulting from the procedure might make pregnancy even less likely. Eventually a version of the metrotome was made with a double blade that could cut both sides of the cervix at once-a supposed improvement on the original design.Įlizabeth Blackwell did not approve of metrotomes, or much of anything else that male doctors recommended for female patients in the nineteenth century. After that, the doctor reinserted the tool and repeated the procedure on the other side. A doctor would push the metrotome into a woman’s uterus, press the handle, and release the blade when he pulled it out, it cut through one side of her cervix. A switchblade of sorts, it was once used to treat fertility issues. A metrotome sounds like a more pleasant device than it is. ![]() ![]() Which is shocking and refreshing for a story about a married couple.

Well, the lighting of course! Electricity isn’t usually an option in these historically inspired 19th-century worlds (with a few fun exceptions). If Sherlock Holmes, Jane Austen, and Harry Potter had a love child together, their love child would be a Gaslamp fantasy romance book. Whereas, magic, its use and existence, is an aspect of world building that sets Gaslamp novels apart. This technology (or mad science) is often futuristic in nature despite the historical environment. Steampunk separates itself with a focus on steam powered technology. And both can be high fantasy, set in a secondary world, or low fantasy and set in a world familiar to us. Both feature settings and a system of values from the Victorian or Edwardian Era. Both subgenres share ancestry with historical fantasy and gothic fiction. Gaslamp has a lot in common with steampunk, and as a result, they are often mistaken for one another. ![]() I blame my love for Gaslamp romance on my young obsession with the atmosphere of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes and the magic found in great books like Howl’s Moving Castle. ![]() ![]() Prater, author of Gaslamp Romance, to tell us more about her love for this relatively unknown genre!

But the reality is not so simple.ĭrawing on a decade of research and clinical experience, psychotherapist and educator David Treleaven shows that mindfulness meditation-practiced without an awareness of trauma-can exacerbate symptoms of traumatic stress. This means that anywhere mindfulness is being practiced, someone in the room is likely to be struggling with trauma.Īt first glance, this appears to be a good thing: trauma creates stress, and mindfulness is a proven tool for reducing it. At the same time, trauma remains a fact of life: the majority of us will experience a traumatic event in our lifetime, and up to 20% of us will develop posttraumatic stress. From elementary schools to psychotherapy offices, mindfulness meditation is an increasingly mainstream practice. ![]() |
