Originally published in 1986, this book examines the history of
midwifery, concentrating on 19th and 20th Century Britain. It shows
how the evolution of the midwife has been influenced by cultural
waves which started in the Near East and Egypt in pre-classical
times and slowly spread Northwards and Eastwards over Europe. The
authors emphasize the effects of specialization and
professionalization upon midwifery and also the influence of male
authority and interest group politics. The evolution of the
educated qualified midwife of the 20th Century is recorded, leading
up to the ongoing debates about high technology birth vis-a-vis
natural birth and home deliveries.
