Trotula

Trotula was a collection of medieval texts from the 12th century that focused on women's health, childbirth, and gynecology. Attributed to a woman named Trotula of Salerno, these writings compiled knowledge on women's bodies, pregnancy, and treatments, and served as early medical references. While some doubts exist about her actual authorship, the texts played a significant role in preserving and sharing medical practices related to women's health in Europe during the Middle Ages. Trotula's work contributed to the understanding of female anatomy and medical care during that period.
