Witches, Midwives and Nurses: A History of Women Healers by Barbara Ehrenreich,& Deirdre English (Used)
Nonfiction/Feminism. Paperback. Great condition. 112 pgs.
from Goodreads: " Witches, Midwives, and Nurses, first published by The Feminist Press in 1973, is an essential book about the corruption of the medical establishment and its historic roots in witch hunters. In this new edition, Barbara Ehrenreich and Deirdre English have written an entirely new chapter that delves into the current fascination with and controversies about witches, exposing our fears and fantasies. They build on their classic exposé on the demonization of women healers and the political and economic monopolization of medicine. This quick history brings us up-to-date, exploring today's changing attitudes toward childbirth, alternative medicine, and modern-day witches."
