The Rhetoric of Midwiferyoffers new insights into understanding
these questions within the context of our present-day medical
system.As a point of departure, Mary M. Lay analyzes the public
discussion over non-academically trained-or direct-entry-midwives
within Minnesota. From 1991-1995, that state held public hearings
about the possible licensing of traditional midwives. Lay focuses
on these debates to examine the complex relationships of power,
knowledge, and gender within the medical profession. Lay examines
the hearings and provides a framework for appreciating the
significance of these debates. She also details the history of
midwifery, highlighting ongoing concerns that have surfaced ever
since the profession was created, centuries ago. In the remaining
chapters, she focuses on the key testimonies offered during the
debates. Capturing the actual testimony of midwives, home-birth
parents, nurses, physicians, and attorneys, The Rhetoric of
Midwifery reveals how the modern medical profession seeks to claim
authority about birth. Lay bolsters her argument by culling from
such sources such as historical documents, an internet discussion
group, and conversations with modern midwives
