Great Choice but remember the men too

I am a nurse midwife and I believe the women in midwifery need to stop the nonsence of this female dominated profession. We should all be professional and allow gender not to be an issue. Men and women can be doctor, why not midwives. Well the book is great but step out of the women only seen.
