Produktbeschreibung

In 1465 the world is a dangerous place for women who practice medicine. Even more dangerous for those who defy authority. Luccia Alimenti is a woman who does just that. As a daughter of one of the legendary female doctors called Salernistas, she travels Europe dispensing herbs, remedies, and the ancient medical texts of Trotula. Those put her in direct conflict with the powerful Inquisition. When she becomes an archer to save women from the pyre, the battle really begins. Finalist for the Lambda Literary Award, this is a story based on extensive research of historical events and actual remedies.
