Customer Reviews

a sociological view of childbirth

This book is must-reading for those interested in feminist issues pertaining to women's health in general and childbirth in particular. This book is pro-midwive, pro-natural birth, and pro-consumerism. A most interesting history of maternity care is included. If you've every wondered how we got so far away from natural birth, this book is for you.
