The midwife: medical professional, friend in a woman's hour of
greatest need, potent social and cultural symbol. Though the role
of midwife has existed since time immemorial, it is only since the
Victorian era that it has been a recognised and regulated
profession. This book, from social history expert Susan Cohen,
looks at midwifery in Britain from ancient times up to the present,
paying particular attention to its incredible medical and social
advances of the last 150 years. It is a fully illustrated tour that
takes in fictional midwives such as Dickens' Sarey Gamp, the
founding of the Royal College of Midwives in 1881, the Second World
War, the forming of the NHS and the Central Midwives Board, and
looks at the increasing medicalisation of childbirth and the
countervailing trend for giving birth at home.
