Elizabeth Cellier, the scandalous celebrity known as the 'Popish
midwife', became the focus of a large number of pamphlets in 1680:
accounts of her two trials, her self-vindication, Malice Defeated,
her opponent Thomas Dangerfield's rejoinder, and various anonymous
satiric attacks against her. She was tried twice: the first time
for the more serious charge of treason, and the second for libel,
for publishing Malice Defeated. She was acquitted the first time,
but found guilty the second, though her punishment was to be
pilloried, not executed. She reemerges as the author of tracts on
midwifery, proposing to James II the establishment of a
professional guild of midwives. Her writings exhibit her remarkable
determination to publish her accusations of government torture and
her advocation of the licensing of midwives as professional women,
as well as exemplifying the importance of the printing press for
enabling women to participate in the political public sphere.
