Talk by Jane Oakes presented by Miner Library's History of Medicine Section.

Water cures were not only a place to get well, but were often where radical ideas about the rights of women, abolition, women's dress reform, and temperance were promoted. Learn about our regional water cure owners who contributed to some of the great social movements of the nineteenth century.
