In the early 1900s, nurses, feminists, and social reformers focused on venereal disease as a symbol of women's powerlessness. Authors in popular literature and nursing journals debated the ethics of the "medical secret," whereby physicians collaborated with their male patients to keep wives uniformed of the risk of infection. The nurses Lavinia Dock and Emma Goldman used the topic of venereal disease as a springboard to discuss their contrasting feminist ideologies. Their writings provide a context for current debates about sexual partner notification for HIV and nurses' role in political activism.
在20世纪初，护士、女权主义者和社会改革者将性病视为女性无力的象征。通俗文学和护理期刊的作者们就“医疗保密”的伦理问题展开了辩论，在这种情况下，医生与男性患者合作，不让其妻子知晓感染风险。护士拉维尼亚·多克和艾玛·戈德曼以性病为话题作为跳板，来讨论她们截然不同的女权主义意识形态。她们的著作提供了一个背景，有助于当前关于艾滋病毒性伴侣告知以及护士在政治激进主义中角色的辩论。
