I didn't want to read this but in solidarity with those poor women, I did. I think we can thank the early Patriarchal Catholic Church for their stance on solitary women, midwives and healers. Or any nonconformist.

They couldn't wait to push women out of healing professions and make room for the all male college of physicians.
