I have now read a plethora of books related to natural childbirth & conscious parenting. This book beautifully weaves together cultural research gathered from hundreds of indigenous women with narrative anecdotes that show birthing traditions from all over the planet. The fact that diverse indigenous people SHARE the same knowledge & practice while WESTERN "modern" societies have invented completely divergent practices, tells us something is wrong with our birthing industry. This is a BEAUTIFUL & EMPOWERING read... it will stand out in my labor-library as one of the best books I've read on the past & future of birthing.
