Surveys important issues in the history of medicine
Although there is substantial literature on childbirth, it
typically lacks the full medical, historical, and social context
that these volumes provide. This series fills the gap in many
institutions' libraries by bringing together key articles on the
expectant mother, the attendants of her delivery, and the health of
the newborn infant. The articles are from British and American
publications that focus upon childbirth practices over the past 300
years and are selected from both primary and secondary sources.
Some are classic works in medical literature; others are from
historical, sociological, anthropological and feminist literature
that present a wider range of scholarly perspectives on childbirth
issues.
Charts the progress of childbirth, midwifery, and obstetrics
The series provides readers with key primary sources that
illuminate the history of childbirth, midwifery and obstetrics. For
example, general historical texts note that childbed (puerperal)
fever claimed hundreds of thousands of maternal lives, and provoked
much fear in Britain and America. The articles in this series, in
addition to historical facts, also provide discussion of the causes
and consequences of particular fever cases taken from the medical
literature of the 19th and 20th centuries, and reveal what a
challenge this disorder was to the medical profession.
Includes more primary sources than other collections
The articles serve as a resource for students and teachers in
various fields including history, women's studies, human biology,
sociology and anthropology. They also meet the educational needs of
pre-medical and nursing students andaid pre-professional, allied
health, and midwifery instructors in lesson preparations. The
series examines a wide range of practical experience and offers a
historical perspective on the most important developments in the
history of British and American childbirth, midwifery, and
obstetrics.
