Lanham, MD: University Press of America, Inc, 2013. First University Press of America paperback printing. Paperback. Very Good. 213pp. Octavo [23 cm] Illustrated wraps, with very light curling to the wraps. "These women who explored the alchemical process in the past were the 'wise women' of history, not witches, but alchemists and scientists. To read Robin Gordon's account of their lives and of her own process enables us to make this important encounter with the visionary female wisdom figures she refers to as Soror Mystica," - Gloria Feman Orenstein, Ph.D. professor of comparative literature and gender studies, University of Southern California.
