Burning Times

    BURNING TIMES is our 'Song To Chew' today, written and performed by Charlie Murphy, one of the strong clear voices of the early feminist men's movement.  It's about the plight of women in Europe in the Middle Ages, who were labeled as witches by establishment men who feared the influence they had as community organizers.  It's from my "Ebenezer's Make Over' album which is a story with songs by Holly Near, Geof Morgan and many other feminist writers.  There's a wonderful, short book I recommend by Barbara Ehrenreich and Deirdre English, called "Witches, Midwives and Nurses: A History Of Women Healers" that exposes how 'women-led healing was delegitimized to make way for patriarchy, capitalism, and the emerging medical industry.  It explores today's changing attitudes toward childbirth, alternative medicine, and modern-day witches'.  We can know the facts about historical stories of the past like this, but we don't really understand them until we feel them in our hearts.  I'm Peter Alsop.  Please check out this podcast and subscribe so you can join me every week with other "Songs To Chew".  Bye for now!~ Subscribe to my Songs To Chew podcast = https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/peter-alsops-songs-to-chew/id1446179156 ~ CAMPING WITH DADS = https://www.amazon.com/Camping-Dads-Peter-Alsop/dp/B08CS871QW/ref=sr_1_1 ~ www.FaceBook.com/WeLikePeterAlsop ~ Youtube.com/peteralsop = videos~ Patreon.com/peteralsop = support my music & other artistic endeavors~ www.peteralsop.com/music  = CDs & downloads Get full access to Peter Alsop’s Substack at peteralsop.substack.com/subscribe
