Book Description:
This is much more than a 'midwife's tale.' It is a rich re-creation and interpretation of a family, a community, indeed an era. At every point Ulrich connects the fascinating story of Martha Ballard to larger historical themes, drawing her readers into the social web of everyday life. In the process, she completely transforms our picture of medical practice of the period. This is a wonderful book!
