From Skirts to Scrubs
From Skirts to Scrubs began as most good ideas do…with a 1 AM phone call
Before Charlotte Thill and Alesha Kotian started medical school, they were just two regular best friends. It was during quarantine in 2020 that one night, Charlotte called Alesha with an idea: to start a podcast that brought together their backgrounds in history and gender studies, and tell stories with a feminist twist. They called the podcast “From Skirts to Scrubs” to symbolize the transition from women wearing skirts and living within prescribed gender roles to their entry into medicine as healthcare providers.

Ep. 82 Uterine Cancer: From Black Bile to Biopsies – From Skirts To Scrubs
Endometrial cancer is now the fourth most common cancer affecting women, but its history is surprisingly overlooked. In the Season 7 finale, we trace the story of uterine cancer from Ancient Egyptian papyri and the theory of the four humors through Byzantine medicine, nineteenth-century surgery, and the hormone replacement therapy boom of the 1960s. Join us as we close out the season by uncovering the fascinating history behind one of the most common gynecologic cancers.Join the From Skirts To Scrubs community and meet us at the intersection of feminism, medicine, and history!
