"The Witch’s Body, an Herbarium is a collection of medicinal herbs used for reproductive care. The properties of these herbs---to provide contraception, abortion, and aid in childbirth---have been known among women for centuries and remain in use, often secretively. Women who practiced these traditional methods were often persecuted for doing so, their traditional knowledge maligned with the label of witchcraft. The Witch has become a symbol for women’s bodily autonomy and resistance to patriarchal control."--Colophon.
