Description

Women Healing/Healing Women examines the vital role of female healers in the Graeco-Roman world during the late Hellenistic and early Roman periods, tracing how women practitioners were recognised in inscriptions and medical texts before gradually disappearing from the historical record. This scholarly work explores the transformation of healing into a contested arena for gender relations, revealing how women's authority as healers became systematically erased by the time the gospels were written. Through rigorous historical and cultural analysis, the book uncovers the complex dynamics that marginalised women from healing professions in early Christianity, offering fresh insights into gender, medicine, and religious authority in antiquity.
