5.0 out of 5 stars A Paradigm-challenging Book, November 4, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Making of Man-Midwifery: Childbirth in England, 1660-1770 (Hardcover)
I read this book as a first-year midwifery student doing research on the history of childbirth. Most of the other books I read were similar in their perspectives, but this one was definitely outside the norm. The author has some very different views about what caused the shift in childbirth assistance, and makes his case well.

The Making of Man-Midwifery really stretched my thinking and challenged me to step back and view the sociology of childbirth from a much broader perspective. I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to develop their own understanding of childbirth sociology.
