"Satyrische Abhandlung von den Krankheiten der Frauenspersonen, welche sie sich durch ihren Putz und Anzug zuzuziehen" by Christian Tobias Ephraim Reinhard is a satirical treatise written in the mid-18th century. This work humorously explores the various ailments afflicting women, particularly those linked to their obsession with beauty and adornment. Reinhard aims to expose the folly of such vanity and the health consequences that arise from extravagant beauty practices. The opening of the
book introduces Reinhard's rationale for addressing the health issues resulting from women's beauty routines, particularly the styles of hair and face adornment that were prevalent in his time. He launches into a critique of fashion trends like the "Pudelkopf," a specific hairstyle that he argues leads to numerous health problems due to its impracticality. Reinhard blends humor with earnest warnings as he suggests that such modes of dressing women not only cause physical ailments but also reflect deeper societal flaws, indicating that beauty is often prioritized over health and common sense.
