Burnett (history, Lakehead U.) notes that the history of the North American West continues to be dominated by the buffalo hunter, the missionary, and the medicine man-- in short, by men. In this book, the author approaches the therapeutic methods of both aboriginal and settler from the perspective of women as healers. Essentially, the author explores the contributions of women to the growth of health care in the Southern Alberta region. A variety of topics are addressed, including: therapeutic systems and methods of different cultures both aboriginal and non-aboriginal, giving birth and midwifery, nursing and the role of nurses in different settings, and how different therapeutic systems converged.
