Belle C. Eskridge, M.D.[a 1], (1859 – 1941 in Monrovia, Los Angeles County, CA, USA[1]), was a clinician at a children's home in Houston, TX. She graduated at the Hahnemann Medical College and Hospital in 1891.[2] Eskridge thought that an early circumcision improves girls just as much as boys.[3] So she circumcised all children in her care and found that girls responded to its effects more than boys.[4]

Female circumcision promotion

Eskridge concluded that female circumcision will "relieve one of the greatest causes of masturbation" in girls (see her publication).
