Implied by her lovely nickname, Screamer was Neely’s “hot to trot” girlfriend, and through her promiscuity she is interpreted as a bitter, sad woman in her older years (Grisham 97).

These works expose how doctors, specifically male as during this time there were little to no female doctors, used intimidation and authority in the maltreatment of their patients, proving that even in the medical world women could not escape the patriarchal oppression that desired only to deprive them of intellectual…
