Synopsis "Witches, Midwives, and Nurses (2Nd Ed. ): A History of Women Healers (Contemporary Classics) "

Witches, Midwives, and Nurses examines how women-led healing was delegitimized to make way for patriarchy, capitalism, and the emerging medical industry. As we watch another agonizing attempt to shift the future of healthcare in the United States, we are reminded of the longevity of this crisis, and how firmly entrenched we are in a system that doesn't work. First published by the Feminist Press in 1973, Witches, Midwives, and Nurses is an essential book about the corruption of the medical establishment and its historic roots in witch hunters. In this new and updated edition, Barbara Ehrenreich and Deirdre English delve into the current fascination with and controversies about witches, exposing our fears and fantasies. They build on their classic exposé on the demonization of women healers and the political and economic monopolization of medicine. This quick history brings us up-to-date, exploring today's changing attitudes toward childbirth, alternative medicine, and modern-day witches.

Disappointing. Delivery took almost two weeks, even with a bank holiday it shouldn't have been that long. It took them 5 days even to post the book. When received the book is absolutely tiny, more like a pamphlet than a book actually. It measures 20 cm high by 14 cms wide by 6 millimetres thick! Definitely not worth what I paid for it, but I just can't be bothered to send it back. Beware when buying.
