Description
Maternity care was the subject of intense campaigning early in this century. This collection of essays brings together historical and social perspectives to put these debates in context and chart how the present situation arose. It examines issues such as the control mothers have over childbirth, the changing role of fathers, the devleopment of midwifery, and the relationship between doctors and midwives. The book concludes with an interview with Wendy Savage.
