History of the vibrator

I didn't realize the history of the vibrator was so unknown! I can't remember how I learned it, but I've definitely known since high school or college that Victorian doctors treated women for "hysteria" by giving them orgasms. I've always thought it was fascinating. I'd love to know how Victorian women discussed their diagnoses among themselves -- did they recommend the best doctors to each other? What did the husbands think? Wasn't this around the same time the doctors had to help women give birth strictly by feel because they weren't allowed to look at them?
