From Jane to the Journal of Women's Health: Women's health as an emergent body of medical knowledge

"Proliferating most publicly since the June 18, 1990 GAO Report to Congress, but present since the 1981 opening in Chicago of the first hospital-based primary care women's health center--Illinois Masonic Medical Center's Women's Health Resources--a discourse has emerged within medicine that defines ""women's health"" as being ""more than"" a woman's reproductive organs. Of particular significance is the popular and institutional support which this discourse has garnered, from the establishment of over 1200 hospital-based women's health centers to the creation since 1990 of an Office of Research on Women's Health at N.I.H., a Congressionally mandated survey of women's health in medical education, and the academic medical Journal of Women's Health."
