Book Overview
Winner of the Zia Award, New Mexico Press Women
The stories of ten women healers form the core of this provocative journey into cultural healing methods utilized by women. In a truly grass-roots project, the authors take the reader along to listen to the voices of Native American medicine women, Southwest Hispanic curanderas, and women physicians as they describe their healing paths.
This book will fascinate anyone interested in the relationship between illness and healing-medical practitioners and historians, patients, anthropologists, feminists, psychologists, psychiatrists, theologians, sociologists, folklorists, and others who seek understanding about our relationship to the forces of both illness and healing.

So it was published in 1991. The ideas they're writing about were established hundreds of years ago. This book is written in 4 parts. Part one, medicine women. Part two, cuanderas. Part three, female doctors. Part four, the authors reflections. In each part they interview three women who practice their healing art. Informative.
