About Reading Abbott

Maude Abbott loved to read. This exhibition explores both what she read and ways we can read her life story. While many publications on the famous doctor have focused on the barriers she faced in a male-dominated profession, this exhibition places Abbott among her favourite authors, texts, and locations. At its heart are Abbott鈥檚 five diaries. These precious journals record her daily activities, meetings, travels, meals, health, friends, books, and even her hair appointments.

鈥淩eading Abbott鈥 showcases a wide array of primary sources on Abbott鈥檚 life. The exhibit is arranged under four thematic headings, exploring her relationships (鈥Osler + Abbott鈥), mobility (鈥Abbott on the Move鈥), reading (鈥Abbott reads鈥), and writing (鈥Abbott writes鈥). Curated by architectural historian Annmarie Adams, 鈥淩eading Abbott鈥 invites feminist and spatial readings of Abbott's legacy.

鈥淩eading Abbott鈥 is sponsored by the Department of Social Studies of Medicine, Peter Guo-hua Fu School of Architecture, and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC). The Osler Library of the History of Medicine invites you to a vernissage at 16:30 on 16 May 2024.


Au sujet de l'exposition

Maude Abbott avait une passion pour la lecture. Cette exposition vous fera d茅couvrir 脿 la fois ce qu鈥檈lle aimait lire et comment lire le r茅cit de sa vie. Alors que de nombreuses publications ont examin茅 les obstacles que la c茅l猫bre m茅decin a d没 surmonter dans une profession majoritairement masculine, Maude Abbott est ici pr茅sent茅e au milieu de ses textes et endroits pr茅f茅r茅s. L鈥檈xposition a 茅t茅 cr茅茅e autour de ses cinq journaux intimes qui pr茅sentent un portrait de sa sant茅, de son cercle d鈥檃miti茅s et de ses lectures et racontent ses activit茅s quotidiennes, y compris ses rencontres, ses voyages, ses repas et m锚me ses rendez-vous pour se faire coiffer.

Assembl茅e par Annmarie Adams, historienne en architecture,, 芦 Lire Abbott 禄 alimente une r茅flexion f茅ministe et spatiale autour de l鈥檋茅ritage de la Dre Abbott.
