Think giving birth is just one day so your birth choices don't
matter? Think again. Playwright Karen Brody interviewed over one
hundred low-risk, educated mothers about their birth experiences
and turned what she discovered into a critically acclaimed play
"Birth." Today the play is part of BOLD, a global movement to
improve childbirth choices for mothers. If you want to understand
childbirth today then this is a must-read (and see ) play. The
themes in "Birth" are universally found in most industrialized
countries today: a surprisingly large number of pregnant women do
not know their birth options and the risks of medical
interventions; pregnant women are being physically and verbally
coerced; power - and pleasure - are available to women who give
birth; and that inside all pregnant moms there is a knowing that
their bodies rock. "Birth" has been performed to sold-out audiences
throughout the world as part of the BOLD movement, raising money
for projects that educate pregnant mothers and expand their
childbirth choices. This book includes the complete second edition
of "Birth," a foreword by bestselling women's health author Dr.
Christiane Northrup, and Karen Brody's reflections on childbirth
today and how pregnant mothers can have an empowering birth.
