"Comprised of fifteen instructive chapters, ""A History of Women in Medicine: Cunning Women, Physicians, Witches"" is enhanced for academia with the inclusion of an informative Prologue, Epilogue, and Postscript, as well as a two page Bibliography, and a three page Index. An altogether impressive and sustained work of seminal scholarship, ""A History of Women in Medicine: Cunning Women, Physicians, Witches"" is an extraordinary and exceptionally informative study that will be a welcome addition to any and all community, college, and university library Women's History collections, and a 'must' for the personal reading lists of non-specialist general readers with an interest in the subject. --Midwest Book Review"
