    For @[email protected], Ellie Rose Mattoon writes about Anatomical Venuses — wax models that were once used to teach female anatomy, and the ongoing issue with gendered images in medicine. “As late as 1986, an analysis of anatomical textbooks showed that 11% of gendered images outside of the chapter detailing the reproductive system were of women. Never mind that women have different skeletons, different manifestations of cardiac disease, and different rates of drug metabolism. The percentage of female images among images that are gendered in anatomy textbooks rose to an average of 32% in a 1994 analysis, then crept to 36% in a 2017 one.”
