First published in 1993, Elisabeth Brooke's powerful exploration of
women's role as healers through the ages and their continuing fight
for recognition is now expanded and updated. Tracing a lineage that
spans the centuries, this revisionist history celebrates women in
medicine from ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome through to the Middle
Ages, the Renaissance and the present day. Drawing on primary
sources, the lives of revolutionary healers are explored in this
comprehensive overview - from Trotula to Hildegard von Bingen, Mary
Seacole to Wendy Savage.Informed by the author's appreciation of
the politics of medicine, this revised edition features brand-new
sections on community medicine; indigenous healers; end-of-life
care and twentieth-century pioneers such as Rosemary Gladstar, Ina
May Gaskin and Louise Hay.
