Women who practiced herbal medicine were "witches".  Men were "doctors". In the 4th Century A.D., Hypatia became the head of the Alexandrian scientific community, by virtue of her mathematical and astronomical ability. Couldn't have THAT, now could they? Btw, Hypatia WAS a practioner of astrology, although modern-day historians are loath to admit it. All her written works were destroyed when she was killed, so her astrological contributions were lost.</blockquote>
