- W2488713076 abstract "'The typical Chinese woman is lightly built, her hips are narrow, the breasts very flat, and the pubic hair scanty, or even entirely absent. She is, therefore, by nature quite in keeping with the present day fashion of slimming.' This was how Richard Tottenham, an Irish obstetrician and the first Professor of Obstetrics (1924-35) at the University of Hong Kong (HKU), described his patients in interwar Hong Kong. To give his readers a clearer idea, he continued, 'Although the Chinese women have flat breasts, there is usually plenty of milk for the infant; which suggests that the large flabby breasts, seen typically in the women of Southern European races have little advantage from a nursing point of view.' This lengthy quote, ladled in a dose of dry wit, characterises many of Tottenham's writings in both local and international journals, such as the Irish Journal of Medical Science and the Caduceus (the journal of the HKU Medical Society). In the form of case histories, his writings portray the physique, personality, health conditions, and daily habits of Chinese women in interwar Hong Kong. They reveal to the English-speaking population the lives of Hong Kong Chinese women, generally of Cantonese origin, who were mostly confined in homes, had little contact with the outside world, and lived distinct lives from their counterparts in other Chinese provinces during the interwar years. Importantly, Tottenham's language reflects racial assumptions and stereotypes, as well as efforts to classify and codify colonial subjects." @default.
