The Making of Man-Midwifery : Childbirth in England, 1660-1770
The Making of ManMidwifery Childbirth in England 16601770
Author: Adrian Wilson
In seventeenth-century England midwives ran childbirth. But in the eighteenth century there emerged a new practitioner: the "man-midwife" who acted in lieu of a midwife and who soon achieved a permanent and central place in the management of childbirth. This authoritative work explores and explains this remarkable transformation.
