The stories of ten women healers form the core of this provocative journey into cultural heaing methods utilized by women.

This book will fascinate anyone interested in the relationship between illness and healing-medical practitioners and historians, patients, anthropologists, feminists, physchologists, psychiatrists, theologians, sociologists, folklorists, and others who seek understanding about our relationship to the forces of both illness and healing.Perrone, Bobette is the author of 'Medicine Women, Curanderas, and Women Doctors' with ISBN 9780806125121 and ISBN 0806125128.
