Good Information Doesn't Age

So it was published in 1991. The ideas they're writing about were established hundreds of years ago. This book is written in 4 parts. Part one, medicine women. Part two, cuanderas. Part three, female doctors. Part four, the authors reflections. In each part they interview three women who practice their healing art. Informative.
