Recenzje

Kline offers a rich and complicated history of direct entry midwifery and the twentieth-century American homebirth movement ... At the core of Kline's thesis is that in each locale where women were called into midwifery, they collaborated with physicians. These women saw childbirth as requiring much more than medical technology, yet they recognized it had its place, and thus sought out or welcomed unsolicited supportive medical advisers and teachers.
