SPEAKER_07: Hey everybody, I'm Edie Allard, a junior producer here at Wonder Media Network. I write some of the scripts for Encyclopedia Womanica. Today I'm excited to introduce one of my favorite healthcare workers that's been featured on Encyclopedia Womanica, Marie Colenet. Marie stood out to me as a great example of a woman who succeeded despite the fact that society imposed so many obstacles. And in the process, she thought outside the box, broke the mold, and saved lives. She came up with some really creative solutions. This episode originally aired in September, but just like lots of modern healthcare workers, Marie often doesn't get the credit she deserves. So she's a perfect figure to highlight again in honor of the many people putting their lives on the line for us today during the COVID-19 pandemic. Now here's host Jenny Kaplan to tell you all about Marie Colenet.
SPEAKER_00: Hi, from Wonder Media Network, I'm Jenny Kaplan. And this is Encyclopedia Womanica. In case you're just tuning in, welcome. Here's the deal. Every weekday for a year, we're taking five minutes to tell the stories of women from throughout history and around the world who you may not know about but definitely should. Each month is themed. And this month, as kids around the world, or at least in the northern hemisphere, head back to school. We're talking about feminists. By that, I mean women who did incredible things in the fields of science, technology, engineering, or math. Today, we're heading back to 16th century Europe. Our feminist of the day improved childbirth methods and was an incredibly talented surgeon. Let's talk about Marie Colenet. Marie was born in Geneva, Switzerland in 1560. Her father was a printer. Growing up, Marie wanted to become a midwife. She was interested in the field of medicine from an early age. And for a 16th century woman, that was her only option for practicing medicine. On July 25th, 1587, Marie married Wilhelm Fabry, a brilliant surgeon often called the father of German surgery. Wilhelm was the top German surgeon of his age, and he taught Marie how to perform in the operating room. He said that the student quickly outpaced the master. Marie showed natural talent in surgery at a time when it was unthinkable for a woman to take part in such an important, masculine endeavor. The couple traveled and worked in Switzerland, Holland, and the Rhineland before settling in Bern. During this period, Marie and Wilhelm had eight children, though only one outlived their mother. Marie treated many patients on her own and by her husband's side. She regularly assisted her husband in performing minor surgeries. She pioneered the modern cesarean section, which employed a new, more medically sound method. Prior to Marie's work, C-section techniques hadn't changed since the time of Julius Caesar. Marie also invented the practice of using heat for dilating and stimulating the uterus during childbirth. That not only increased the ease of childbirth, but also lowered the risk of certain complications. It's important to note that childbirth was a very dangerous proposition at the time. In addition to being an obstetrician, Marie was well known for a new form of eye treatment in one particularly notable case in 1624. A patient had a piece of metal in his eye. Wilhelm had attempted to remove it and failed. Marie succeeded using a magnet, an ingenious, non-invasive technique that's still practiced today. Though Wilhelm gave Marie full credit for her actions, he's often cited as the technique's inventor. That, unfortunately, happened to Marie a lot. On another case, Marie treated a man with two shattered ribs by opening his chest and resetting the bones with wire. She closed and dressed the wound with herbal plasters that effectively deterred infection. Wilhelm detailed the case in his medical writings and said Marie was the inventor of the treatment method. Still, Wilhelm often gets the credit. Marie went on to write two books before Wilhelm passed away. After his death, her whereabouts are relatively unknown. She died in 1640 at the age of 80. Marie Colonnay's insights forever changed the science of delivering babies, and her skill invalidated the view that women didn't belong in medicine. As always, we're taking a break for the weekend. Tune in on Monday for the story of another amazing feminist. Special thanks to my favorite sister and co-creator, Liz Kaplan. Talk to you on Monday.
