Book rec: Institutionalization of birth
Sirensong's birth story reminded me of a novel I read last year called The Birth House (by Amy McKay). It's all about the way midwives were pushed out of the birth process by the rise of the medical institution. It's a powerful, interesting read... makes me definitely want to have a midwife!
Re: Book rec: Institutionalization of birth
I enjoyed it too
I think I have Birth House on my paperbackswap wish list
We had two midwives come to the rescue squad where I volunteer last night, they had a lot of interesting information.
It sounds interesting, thanks for mentioning it, Kaesha!
*Puts it on 'Must read' list.
Oh man, do I have a lot of books to read now lol!
