First published in 1690, " The Court Midwife" made Justine
Siegemund (1636-1705) the spokesperson for the art of midwifery at
a time when most obstetrical texts were written by men. More than a
technical manual, "The Court Midwife" contains descriptions of
obstetric techniques of midwifery and its attendant social
pressures. Siegemund's visibility as a writer, midwife, and
proponent of an incipient professionalism accorded her a status
virtually unknown to German women in the seventeenth century.
Translated here into English for the first time, "The Court
Midwife" contains riveting birthing scenes, sworn testimonials by
former patients, and a brief autobiography.
