Long sidelined from the practice of official medicine, women have never ceased to develop their talents as healers, and have done so since Antiquity. This book highlights some fifty remarkable figures in the field of healing, from its origins to the present day. Mythological figures, witches, mystics, shamans and therapists… Famous or lesser-known, from every continent, they are revealed by the combined pens of a writer and an artist. So many diptychs associating a face with a story, from Circe to Starhawk, via Hildegarde de Bingen, Maria Sabina or Florence Nightingale.

With Guérisseuses d’hier et d’aujourd’hui, Aurélie Godefroy as writer and Sheina Szlamka as illustrator offer a lovely illustrated discovery of this age-old craft.

See you on Thursday October 13 from 6pm for a book signing with Aurélie Godefroy and Sheina Szlamka!
