Gender, Genre and Slavery: The Other Rowson, Rowson\u27s Others
No full textReaders familiar with Susanna Rowson as the author of Charlotte Temple (1791, 1794) do not think of her as an abolitionist. But in 1805 Rowson articulated an anti-slavery position in Universal Geography, a textbook addressed to schoolgirls such as those she herself taught at the Young Ladies Academy in Boston. Condemning those who viewed sugar and slavery as a winning equation that would make them rich, Rowson denounced the “purchase and sale of human beings,” and insisted that anyone “enlightened by reason and religion” would oppose the “horrid trade,” and see it as she did, as “a disgrace to humanity.”1 At other points in the text, she condemned both the slave drivers in the West Indies, who “exercise[d] the most unpardonable barbarity and tyranny” over “unresisting sufferers,” and North American slave owners, whose characters, she argued, registered the obvious negative effects of their immoral practice.
The effect of preexisting medical comorbidities on the preeclamptic phenotype: a retrospective cohort study
No full textPublished online: 26 Oct 2021Objective:To compare the effect of comorbidities on the phenotype and outcomes of preeclampsia. Methods:A matched retrospective cohort study of women delivering at a tertiary maternity center following a diagnosis of preeclampsia. We collected data on signs and symptoms, biochemical markers, and maternal and perinatal outcomes. Results:We studied 474 women; 158 women with and 316 without comorbidities. Compared to women without comorbidities, women with comorbidities delivered earlier. They suffered fewer maternal but more neonatal complications. Conclusion:Women with comorbidities receive earlier intervention than women without comorbidities, which may lead to fewer maternal complications but worse neonatal outcomes.Michael S.
