In our century I don't think anyone dares question this idea that the VMS is a work of women. It is very difficult to go against the current and it can end up succeeding. In the last century no one thought of that. We are a product of history, as Gadamer said.
Without ruling it out entirely, I think the likelihood that the VM is a book written by women for women is minimal. This idea, naturally promoted today by women, is based on the fact that the VM is a women's health book. I don't see that anywhere. I only see a book of herbs and astrology. But not just me. A great expert in iconology like Erwin Panofsky also did not see anything in the book related to biology.
