With insight and originality, the authors have woven together stories about the witch hunts of the Middle Ages, the emergence of the Popular Health Movement, and an analysis of the contemporary state of medicine in relation to women's rights. In a new introduction written for this special edition, Ehrenreich and English discuss how this crucial text emerged, how much has changed, and how "for all our gains, we clearly have our work cut out for us."--Back cover.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 610.82 Eh Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 610.82 Ehrenreich Checked In Add Copy to MyList
