NAUTILUS SILVER AWARD 2018 Medicine Woman is the sister book to Burning Woman and Creatrix from Amazon bestselling author, Lucy H. Pearce. This audacious questioning of the current medical systems ability to deal with the modern epidemic of chronic illness, combines a raw personal memoir of sickness and healing, woven through with voices of dozens of other long-term sick women of the world and a feminine cultural critique that digs deep into the roots of patriarchal medicine. Pearce takes us from its ancient Greek roots, through the influences of the Enlightenment and Christianity, the wholesale destruction of the wise woman tradition and Western colonial destruction of native medicines to the current technocratic, capitalist model of medicine.Medicine Woman asks the uncomfortable questions that our culture refuses to face:
- Why chronic illness, mental health issues, medical prescriptions and costs are rising exponentially.
- Why women are the major sufferers of the modern epidemic of auto-immune conditions.
- Why women are twice as likely to be medicated for depression.

Endorsements
This is Lucy Pearces opus a body of work which requires a lifetime of preparation to garner this kind of courage that boldly sets raw truth free. In doing so her words unshackle others too. Medicine Woman is a clarion call in a world where we are needing to heal generational wounds, to own where we have been complicit so we can make room for the collective rise that seeks another way forward.
ALisa Starkweather, founder of the Red Tent Temple Movement
Lucy Pearce is a luminous voice in global change a voice that calls out for a return to balance of the feminine and masculine energies to heal the very world all beings depend upon to continue existing preferably thriving. Medicine Woman is needed wake up words in a world gone numb.
Paula Youmell, RN, Wise Woman Nurse, author Hands on Health and Weaving Healing Wisdom
Lucy Pearce writes with a blazing mix of passion and vulnerability as she boldly explores the complexities of health issues facing contemporary women. This hard-hitting narrative exposes the undeniable bias that shapes modern medicine and keeps women sick. Pearce gives voice to the silent epidemic of invisible illness. Her revelations are cataclysmic. With an unwavering commitment to healing, and through harnessing the primal creative power of the feminine, this book offers real hope to those who suffer. Medicine Woman heralds the reclaiming of our innate power to heal ourselves. This deeply personal work offers all women the opportunity to take full responsibility for our lives and thrive.
Teresa Maria Bilowus, woman, mother, author, mentor and founder of the Voices From The Red Tent project
In Medicine Woman, Lucy H. Pearce continues her invaluable work of reawakening the Sacred Feminine and connecting women to their inherent wisdom. Pulling back the curtain on the male-dominated medical model of the current era, Pearce reveals the systematic and intentional suppression of feminine knowledge and intuition, and in doing so invites modern women to reclaim their own healing journey. The Medicine Woman archetype is needed in our culture now more than ever as women awaken to the healing power and potential that lies within each of us.

For my grandmother, Lucy Crocker Pearce,in loving memory and gratitude for being a pioneer in so many aspects of health and community.
For all the women, throughout the ages, who were not treated with the compassion they deserved.
For we who are still not now,
That we may heal ourselves
And the world.
A womans journey to healing begins the moment she decides she will no longer abandon herself.

Acknowledgements
This book was only possible because of those who walked this path before me.
I want to pay heartfelt tribute to my way-showers on this journey: Johanna Hedva, (Sick Woman Theory), Charles Eisenstein (Mutiny of the Soul), Christiane Northrup ( Womens Bodies, Womens Wisdom ), Kat Duff ( The Alchemy of Illness ), Eve Ensler ( In the Body of the World ) and the many, many others whose work is referenced here. Your powerful writings crystallised for me so many themes that I had been contemplating and living through for most of my adult life. Seeing your courage to confront this topic gave me the permission to finally give voice to my own experience. I am deeply indebted to your valuable, pioneering work. Thank you.
My grandmother Lucy H. Crocker Pearce, a natural philosopher and early female science graduate, whose passion for biology, education and books took bloom first in the Pioneer Health Centre in Peckham, London in the 1930s, and later amongst friends, family and seemingly everyone her life touched. My greatest sadness is that I never got to meet her and never got to see the Peckham Centre. But I carry her name and her spirit. And her passion for health and cultural transformation lives on through all who knew her. I have been lucky enough to be connected directly to it through my parents and my friendship with her co-worker, Elizabeth, a dear friend now in her nineties, who has taught me so much about living well through her own quiet example.
