The wise woman, or witch, had a host of remedies which had been tested in years of use. Many of the herbal remedies developed by witches still have their place in modern pharmacology, yet the work of women has been largely forgotten. In this pamphlet, Barbara Ehrenreich and Deirdre English examine the persecution of female healers, and the legacy of the witch hunts on the healing roles women take on today.
