Description

Explore the historical role of women as healers in the Graeco-Roman world with this scholarly work from Routledge. This book examines the shift in gender relations during the late Hellenistic and early Roman periods, tracing how women were recognized in inscriptions and medical writings. Readers will learn how women functioned as respected healers before the first century of the Common Era. The text investigates how healing became a site of contestation for gender roles and how the presence of women in these roles was effectively erased by the time the gospels were written. By looking at historical and cultural evidence, this book provides a detailed look at the changing social status of female healers in antiquity.
