'Hibba Abugideiri's Gender and the Making of Modern Medicine in Colonial Egypt is an informative, well-researched book detailing the changing medical field in Egypt from the time of Mehmed Ali's regime through British colonial rule (1820s-1930s)... Ultimately, with its many merits, this book is a valuable addition to growing scholarship on gender history, Egyptian history, and the history of medicine and the state in all its definitions.' Social History of Medicine 'Abugideiri offers a compelling analysis of medical professionalization, one that substantively enriches trends in the field. She situates the rise of modern medicine in Egypt in key registers of modernity: state building and population health, political tensions within the projects of empire and nation, and gender difference in the rise of modern notions of expertise.' Victorian Studies 'Gender and the Making of Modern Medicine in Colonial Egypt is a valuable analysis of how medical institution building paved the way for a syncretic indigenous medical discourse with significant implications for gender relations and for the rhetoric and mobilization of anti-colonial nationalism.'
