Western Maternity and Medicine, 1880--1990

unapi

The contributors to this collection look into the experiences of women in the Western world going through pregnancy and birth over the last hundred years. Essays explore the impact of the professionalization of the medical services, the factors that influenced women's decisions over their choice of health care and whether childbirth was seen as a natural or a medical event.
