Witches, Midwives, and Nurses

A History of Women Healers
Book • 1973
Witches, Midwives, and Nurses explores the historical suppression of women as healers, tracing their roles from medieval Europe to the rise of modern medicine in the United States.

The book argues that women's traditional healing practices were marginalized by male-dominated medical institutions, leading to their exclusion from professional medicine.

It also examines contemporary issues in healthcare and the resurgence of interest in alternative healing practices.
