There has been a recent and rapid increase in research literature pertaining to women; this revolution in women's studies may be currently unequaled in any other field related to psychiatry. In this first part of a two-part article the author briefly discusses the social and intellectual contexts of research in this area. She reviews recent research on gender differences in behavior and on women's sexual and reproductive lives, including various aspects of the menstrual cycle, menopause, diseases of the reproductive organs, coitus, rape, childbirth, lactation, and fertility control. The second part will cover research on women in families, communities, work, and psychotherapy; and it will attempt to assess limitations of present knowledge and the anticipated directions and impact of future research.
最近，与女性相关的研究文献数量迅速增加；女性研究领域的这场变革目前在与精神病学相关的其他任何领域都无与伦比。在这篇分两部分的文章的第一部分中，作者简要讨论了该领域研究的社会和知识背景。她回顾了近期关于行为性别差异以及女性性与生殖生活的研究，包括月经周期、更年期、生殖器官疾病、性交、强奸、分娩、哺乳和生育控制等各个方面。第二部分将涵盖关于女性在家庭、社区、工作和心理治疗方面的研究；并将试图评估现有知识的局限性以及未来研究的预期方向和影响。
