Book Reviews of The Midwives Book: Or the Whole Art of Midwifry Discovered (Women Writers in English 1350-1850)
Book Review: fascinating original source of medieval midwifery
Summary: 4 Stars
Thank goodness for those modern women scholars who have translated such amazing medieval women's books such as this one. Now we have the women's voices themselves, and the modern reader will be both shocked and fascinated by what was believed about midwifery in the middle ages. I found this subject so interesting that I made the main character of my historical novelRashi's Daughters, Book II: Miriam a midwife.
