Billie Hunter and Nicky Leap spent several years interviewing
dozens of mothers and retired midwives about their experiences of
childbirth before the NHS. The result was The Midwife's Tale, an
oral history of midwifery from the 1910s to the 1950s. The authors
explore the very real poverty of the time; how woman coped with
rearing large families; and the lack of knowledge of contraception
and abortion. Gripping accounts of women's experiences are set
against an informative background of events in the midwifery
profession, particularly the transition from unqualified
'handywoman' to professional midwife in the 1930s.
