Witches, Midwives, & Nurses (Second Edition)

A History of Women Healers. First published in 1973, this is an essential work on the corruption of the medical establishment and its historic roots in witch hunting. 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 modern-day witches, exposing fears and fantasies. They build on their classic expose on the demonisation of women healers and the political economic monopolisation of medicine. This classic is now revised and updated with new chapters on the current fascination with controversial knowledge and witches.
