"Please don't give up on me. You're the best psychologist I ever had. Never give up on me." —Artemisia When psychologist, Dr Diana Verdi, sets off to Central Australia to attend an international conference, she takes some very weighty baggage with her: the recent loss of her mother, a fraught relationship with her father and a floundering marriage. At the same time Artemisia, her fourteen year old patient, critically ill with anorexia, has disappeared. Miles from nowhere, in the middle of the desert, Diana finds herself participating in ancient women's ceremonies, under the watchful guidance of Aunty Millie, an Aboriginal elder skilled in traditional healing. At first Diana resists the old woman's mysterious ways, but eventually the power of the ancient culture breaks through. Diana's relationships, both personal and professional, begin to take on a new light and by the time she leaves the desert women, Diana realises they hold the key to Artemisia's healing. But will she find the girl in time? Denise Greenaway is a storyteller extraordinaire. She uses story to enlighten us about our inner realities and what it means to be human. In Finding Artemisia, she gives us a close-up view of the isolation and alienation found in women's present-day struggles with eating and body image, and then skillfully juxtaposes them against the connectedness found in an ancient world where tending to "women's business" is a sacred act, where mythology and ceremony provide nourishment for the soul. She takes the reader on a journey of transformation as her characters learn how to break free of the limitations of their culturally conditioned roles and relationships so they can claim their authentic selves. A true women's wisdom tale, Finding Artemisia, is a joy to read. Dr. Anita Johnston, Ph.D. Author, Eating in the Light of the Moon

Plants have cultural histories, as their applications change over time and with place. Some plant species have affected human cultures in profound ways, such as the stimulants tea and coffee from the Old World, or coca and quinine from South America. Even though medicinal plants have always attracted considerable attention, there is surprisingly little research on the interface of ethnobotany and medical anthropology. This volume, which brings together (ethno-)botanists, medical anthropologists and a clinician, makes an important contribution towards filling this gap. It emphasises that plant knowledge arises situationally as an intrinsic part of social relationships, that herbs need to be enticed if not seduced by the healers who work with them, that herbal remedies are cultural artefacts, and that bioprospecting and medicinal plant discovery can be viewed as the epitome of a long history of borrowing, stealing and exchanging plants.
Women and the Ideology of Political Exclusion explores the origin and evolution of the political ideology that has kept women away from centers of political power – from the birth of democracy in ancient Athens to the modern era. In this period of 2500 years, two parallel tracks advanced: while male authority tried to construct an ideology that justified women’s incompatibility with the political organization of the state, women attempted to resist their exclusion and thwart arguments about their inferiority. Although the issue of women’s status has been studied in detail in specific eras, this interdisciplinary collection extends the boundaries of the discussion. Drawing on a wide range of literary and historical sources, including Herodotus’ Histories, Plato’s Laws, María de San José’s Oaxaca Manuscript, and the work of Émilie Du Châtelet, Mary Boykin Chesnut, and Virginia Woolf, the chapters here reveal the various manifestations of the female-inferiority construct. Such an extensive overview of this historical trajectory promotes a deeper understanding of its causes, permutations, and persistence. Women may have made great gains toward political power, but they continue to encounter invisible barriers, raised by traditional stereotypes, that block their path to success. Women and the Ideology of Political Exclusion aims to make these barriers visible, raising awareness about the longevity and tenacity of arguments, the roots of which reach classical antiquity.
