Sally G. McMillen has written an enthralling historical account of
the childbearing and -rearing responsibilities that consumed, often
literally, the lives of women in the Old South. She explores the
social, political, and medical influences of the time, which led
women to assume fervently the full responsibility for their
""sacred occupation,"", and examines how a woman's maternal role
ensured her value within the family and the greater society. Along
with intimate details that authenticate her study. McMillen
provides telling statistics on the number of women who died in
childbirth, the rate of infant mortality, and the incidence of
other causes of death to mothers and their children during the
first half of the nineteenth century.
