This entry offers an overview of women’s various forms of written engagement with the principles and praxis of anatomical research in the Romantic era. Particular attention is given to the frequent authorial focus on the postmortem dissection of bodies of women and infants following labor-associated death. Several midwives made notable contributions to the period’s broader anatomy literature, from formally published pregnancy and childbirth instruction manuals to recorded case notes pertaining to women’s attendance at individual postdelivery autopsies. These contributions reflect not only significant attempts to collate and build upon knowledge in reproductive anatomy, but also a broader vision to put that knowledge to practical use for improved maternal and neonatal care. This entry concludes with a brief consideration of anatomical ideas and rhetoric in writing that emerged alongside medical works, foregrounding select compositions by Joanna Baillie, Frances Burney, and Mary Shelley.
