Woman as Healer | Free Book
Jeanne Achterberg
This groundbreaking work examines the role of women in the Western
healing traditions. Drawing on the disciplines of history,
anthropology, botany, archaeology, and the behavioral sciences, Jeanne
Achterberg discusses the ancient cultures in which women worked as
independent and honored healers; the persecution of women healers in
the witch hunts of the Middle Ages; the development of midwifery and
nursing as women's professions in the nineteenth century; and the
current role of women and the state of the healing arts, as a time of
crisis in the health-care professions coincides with the reemergence
of feminine values.
