UMSL Professor Questions 'Medical Sexism' In Linking Birth Control To Pap Smears

University of Missouri-St. Louis

Research output: Other contribution

Abstract

Why do so many physicians require women to get a Pap smear and a pelvic exam before writing a one-year prescription for birth control? Most of us never think about that question. It is what it is.

But Jill B. Delston isn’t like most of us. She’s a professor of philosophy at the University of Missouri-St. Louis. She gets curious about things that we shrug off as the way things are.
