• catalog abstract "Midwives, Society and Childbirth is the first book to examine midwives' lives and work in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries on an international scale, comparing experiences from Sweden, Denmark, Italy, England, Spain and the United States. The approach is interdisciplinary with the studies written by a diverse team of social, medical and midwifery historians, sociologists, and those with experience of providing childbirth services. Questioning many conventional historical assumptions for the first time, this book is fundamental to a better understanding of the effect on midwives of the unprecedented progress of science in general, and obstetric science in particular, from the late nineteenth century. The contributors challenge the traditional bleak picture of midwives' decline in the face of institutional obstetrics, medical technology, and the growing power of the medical profession. Was it really a uniform and unrelieved demise, as midwives lost their status, independence, and role?".
