A fascinating study of how birthing methods have evolved and how key practices have returned.
There was a time when birth was treated as a natural process rather than a medical condition, but societal changes in attitudes toward women and the practice of medicine made birthing a province of the male-dominated medical profession. In Birth Chairs, Midwives, and Medicine, Amanda Carson Banks examines the history of the birth chair and tells how this birthing device changed over time.
