Información sobre este eBook

Midwives in History explores the often-overlooked contributions of midwives to childbirth practices across cultures and time. This book rediscovers the history of midwifery, highlighting its traditions and impact on women's health. It examines how midwives, essential figures in reproductive healthcare, have sometimes been marginalized by dominant medical systems, even though their contributions to safe childbirth and women's empowerment are undeniable.

Did you know that the evolution of midwifery training has gone through apprenticeship models, formal midwifery schools, and medical licensing impacts? The book progresses by first introducing the foundational concepts of midwifery, then exploring the formalization of midwifery training over the centuries. It examines diverse cultural childbirth practices, highlighting unique rituals and support systems.

Through primary historical texts and interdisciplinary research, Midwives in History adopts a global approach that balances academic rigor with narrative storytelling. The book culminates with an analysis of debates surrounding integrating midwives into modern healthcare systems and the implications for women’s reproductive autonomy.
