Between the late eighteenth and the early twentieth century, the
industrialized world experienced a transition in birth practices
from the 'wise woman' midwife to the male medical specialist. While
in many countries this gendered struggle led to a separation of
midwifery from the rest of modern medicine, in Germany midwives
took an active role in the transition from traditional practice to
modern institutionalized health care. By finding an organized voice
and working towards professionalization, they helped protect their
essential role in childbirth. Fallwell explores this transition and
sets it in its wider historical context, including the role of
print culture and the changes that occurred before, during and
after the Nazi regime.
