Witches, Midwives, and Nurses

A History of Women Healers by Barbara Ehrenreich and Deirdre English

I read this essay a year ago for the first time. I just remembered it as part of a conversation and figured it was worth doing a post for. A 1970s era history of medicine before the the profession became one of University trained (still mostly male even in 2022) medical doctors. I remember thinking that it held up well despite the now 50 years since it was written.

The paperback (image) is 108 pages so must be a little more detailed.
