Medicine Women: A Pictorial History of Women Healers
Elisabeth Brooke

This lavishly illustrated visual history celebrates women's' contributions to medicine from earliest times to the present. Medicine Women includes profiles of well-known women healers, such as Hildegarde of Bingen and Florence Nightingale, and others who deserve wider recognition, such as Trotula of Salerno, who wrote gynecological and obstetrical texts in thirteenth-century Italy. Striking full-color design and over 100 illustrations make this an ideal gift and treasured resource.
