«Semmelweis: Le médecin des femmes» is the historical graphic novel by Isabelle Bauthian, illustrated by Eva Rossetti, published by Steinkis in hardback.
The work follows Ignaz Semmelweis, a 19th-century Hungarian physician, in his attempt to prove that handwashing reduces mortality from puerperal fever in Vienna's clinics. Faced with the scepticism of his colleagues, he defends an idea that would later prove essential to antisepsis and public health.
The original edition consists of 124 pages, with text in French; it was published on 28 August 2025.
Recommended for readers of documentary comics interested in the history of medicine, public health and biographies of scientists.
