About this title: Women have always been healers, and medicine has always been an arena of struggle between female lay practitioners and male professionals. This book explores two important phases in the male takeover of health care: the suppression of witches in medieval Europe and the rise of the male medical profession in the United States.

"A brief read packed with a great deal of information. It will provide you with information on how women have fought to be healers or care providers for centuries often to be thwarted and/or punished by male leaders both political and religious, as well as male professionals. Knowing much of this information prior to reading it, as a female care provider, I still found myself often times angry as I read it. It was a great history lesson for me."
"Deserves more stars than I gave it. It made me angry, probably because it is true. Packs a punch on the history of women health care providers and how they were edged out by male "professional" institutionalization of the health care system. I first got an inkling of this history while reading "The Diary of Martha Ballard". When we experience the system today, we could wish for a lot more care and a lot less "professionalization"."
