   Witch Hunts (14) Feminist Press (1) Actualmente no hay Conversaciones sobre este libro.  matsuko | Aug 17, 2023 |   When it came it was such a tiny volume and I already knew it was a bit dated, that I really worried I wouldn't get much of of it, as this is a subject I have already done some reading about. But I LOVED this. I am sure it helped having the second edition, with the introduction that really places this work within its historical context. As usual, context is nearly everything, and I think I wouldn't have liked this book nearly as much without that introduction. This IS a "blaze of anger and indignation," but part of why the world has changed since this book came out is BECAUSE of this book -- and scholarship and activism in this vein. Absolutely glad that I sought this out.

As we watch another agonizing attempt to shift the future of healthcare in the United States, we are reminded of the longevity of this crisis, and how firmly entrenched we are in a system that doesn't work. Witches, Midwives, and Nurses, first published by the Feminist Press in 1973, is an essential book about the corruption of the medical establishment and its historic roots in witch hunters. In this new edition, Barbara Ehrenreich and Deirdre English have written an entirely new chapter that delves into the current fascination with and controversies about witches, exposing our fears and fantasies. They build on their classic exposé on the demonization of women healers and the political and economic monopolization of medicine. This quick history brings us up-to-date, exploring today's changing attitudes toward childbirth, alternative medicine, and modern-day witches. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
