Author: Jane Sharp
When the midwife Jane Sharp wrote The Midwives Book in 1671, she became the first British woman to publish a midwifery manual. Drawing on works by her male contemporaries and weaving together medical information and lively antecdotes, she produces a book that is instructive, accessible, witty, and constantly surprising.
