Publisher's note

Looks at the history of medical practice, argues that the suppression of female healers began with the European witch hunts, and describes the sexism of the current medical establishment.

Annotation

Women have always been healers, and medicine has always been an arena of struggle between female lay practitioners and male professionals. This book explores two important phases in the male takeover of health care: the suppression of witches in medieval Europe and the rise of the male medical profession in the United States.
