'Witch' is a powerful word with humble origins. Once used to describe an ancient British tribe known for its unique class of female physicians and priestesses, it grew into something grotesque, diabolical and dangerous. 'A History of Women in Medicine' reveals the untold story of forgotten female physicians, their lives, practices and subsequent demonisation as witches.
