- catalog description "Frances Katz Ventre was born in 1941 in Brooklyn, New York. After attending public schools in Brooklyn, she attended the University of Wisconsin, earning a BS in Russian in 1962. She married Robert M. Ventre in 1962 and the couple had three children: F.J., Michael, and Sara. While pregnant with her first child, Ventre and her husband became interested in the natural birth process and began taking Lamaze classes. In 1972 she became a childbirth education instructor, having received certification from the American Society for Psycho-Prophylaxis (now Lamaze International). In 1973 she began nursing classes at Montgomery College, receiving her AA in nursing in 1977, and in 1974 co-founded H.O.M.E. (Home Oriented Maternity Experience) and served as an instructor and editor of its newsletter, News from H.O.M.E., until about 1980. In 1975 she became certified as a lay-midwife in the state of Maryland, challenging that state's "granny midwife" law. She later attended Georgetown University (1977-1978) receiving a certification as a nurse-midwife. In 1980 Ventre received an MA in Public Health from Boston University. Beginning in 1978 Ventre worked as a nurse-midwife, assisting in the establishment of the North Shore Birth Center at Beverly Hospital in Beverly, Massachusetts in 1979, working there as a nurse-midwife and later a senior nurse-midwife until 1984. Following this she took a position as a midwife at Holy Family Hospital's Birthing Center in Methuen, Massachusetts. Ventre was also very involved in the home birth movement in Massachusetts, giving testimony regarding a number of bills related to midwifery before the Massachusetts Legislature (1977-1984) and serving on the Massachusetts Health Department Commissioner's Taskforce on Birthing Centers (1983-1984) and the Massachusetts Health Systems Project Review Committee (1983-1984), as well as being a founding member of the North America Midwives Alliance.".
