Rise, Fall, and Rebirth of The Wise Woman Way

This fascinating story will be told from a woman’s perspective. Herstory parallels the history of herbalism and the history of medicine. Women as health-givers were everywhere, though rarely recognized. We will sweep from prehistory to modern times: from the Goddess, through the Middle Ages featuring Hildegard Von Bingen, then onward to the Renaissance and to America with the Physiomedicalists and Eclectics. We end with modern times and the challenges that Wise Women and Wise Men now face as herbalists.
