Abstract

This essay traces the opposition to the Galenic notion of a homology between male and female genitalia (the “one-sex model”) and identifies the French physician André Dulaurens as the first outspoken opponent. After Dulaurens, the German physician Johann Peter Lotichius makes the opposition to that model more clearly an argument that may be called “feminist.”
