5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent History of Obstetrics, January 4, 2011
This review is from: Deliver Me from Pain: Anesthesia and Birth in America (Hardcover)
From my lay point-of-view, this book is an incredibly well-researched look into the history of OB practices over the past 150 years. A history that was fueled by anesthetics, ignorance, patriarchy and later, feminism. Although one could walk away feeling like this is a scathing criticism of "modern" obstetrics, I found that the author handled the subject evenhandedly and almost dispassionately. For every bit of history in which you want to cry "How infuriating!", the author tempers this fury with context. I highly recommend this book to anyone with a even a passing interesting in this subject. I had a hard time putting this book down.
