Keys to History
These McGill medical students put on a show for the photographer by "having fun" dissecting one of their classmates. In addition to the ghoulish sense of humour of these future doctors, the scene also shows one of the motivations for excluding women from the practice of medicine. Indeed, how could the requirements of the medical profession be reconciled with feminine modesty?
