Discover more about the evolution of early modern medicine through a feminist lens in Olivia Plender’s new body of work.
In her first solo UK institutional presentation since 2013, Olivia Plender (b. 1977, lives and works in Stockholm and London) presents an ambitious new commission about women’s health and the history of medicine, with specific focus on women’s reproductive health. The work is inspired by research undertaken in Oxford into the medical case notes of seventeenth century doctors and astrologers Simon Forman and Richard Napier.
