#Madame Du Coudray

[blondebrainpowered]

Angélique Marguerite Le Boursier du Coudray (c. 1712 – 17 April 1794) spent twenty-five years traveling the towns of France, teaching obstetrics in an effort to share her extensive knowledge with poor country midwives. Madame Du Coudray invented the first life size obstetrical mannequin, or “The Machine”, for practicing mock births. Only one example of the original machine, patented in 1778, survived and is on display in the Musée Flaubert et d’histoire de la médecine in Rouen, France. It includes a life-size mannequin representing the lower part of the female body, a doll the size of a newborn baby, and various accessories demonstrating female anatomy, a seven-months fetus, twins, etc. Between 1760 and 1783, she traveled all over rural France, sharing her extensive knowledge with poor women. During this period, she is estimated to have taught in over forty French cities and rural towns and to have trained 4,000 students directly. She was also responsible for the training of 6,000 other women, who were taught directly by her former students. In addition, she taught about 500 surgeons and physicians, all of them men. In her thirty years of teaching she taught over 30,000 students. Through this educational effort Du Coudray became a national sensation and international symbol of French medical advancement. Via Anonymous Works.

Je reviens à mon projet de présenter la plupart de mes 55000 photos (nouveau compte approximatif. On se rapproche du présent !).

2016. Une journée à Paris. Le Musée de l’Homme:

A noter : 

- la première : mannequin d'accouchement de Madame du Coudray - XVIIIe s.

- la 2ème :  crânes déformés - Bolivie, Congo, France

- la 4ème : chaussures chinoises pour pieds déformés

Sinon des champignons, des primates (orang-outan et chimpanzé), un hocco (je crois) avec un lémurien et un paon...

found with the caption: Madame Du Coudray’s "machine", a mannequin for teaching obstetrics, was invented in the 18th century by a midwife determined to combat the ignorance of country midwives who endangered the lives of women and children. Madame Du Coudray spent twenty-five years travelling the towns and cities of France, teaching her methods and selling her ingenious "machines". The only surviving example of the "machine", patented in 1778, is on display in the Museum of Flaubert and the History of Medicine, in Rouen.

It includes a life-size mannequin representing the lower part of the female body, a doll the size of a newborn baby, and various accessories demonstrating female anatomy, a seven-month fœtus, twins etc.

Madame du Coudray was a leading midwife active in 18th century France, who was famously commissioned by Louis XV to travel throughout rural France to help decrease birth complications and deaths by educating rural midwives. This manual was designed to be published and purchased cheaply for her rural pupils; later editions, such as this 1777 edition, came with color illustrations.

¨La máquina" para practicar partos de Madame du Coudray

Angélique Marguerite Du Coudray (1714-1794), recorrió Francia durante veintitrés años enseñando a las mujeres campesinas el oficio de partera. A esta matrona del siglo XVIII, se le atribuye la invención de uno de los primeros simulador obstétricos para practicar partos. El maniquí, al que Madame Du Coudray llamaba cariñosamente “la maquina”, emulaba la parte inferior del cuerpo de una mujer y estaba hecho de lana y cuero de color rosa. La sencillez y la originalidad de este método de enseñanza, lo convierte en una herramienta educativa ...

Pour pimenter un journal, sans odeur, sans saveur et d'une monotonie totale, madame Coudray se met a devenir une avocate du pouvoir. Voilà, le rôle des journalistes francais des journaux televisés. #consternant
