Book Overview

This controversial tract, first published in 1810, argues against the practice of male midwives, known as 'man-midwives', on the grounds of both medical safety and moral decency. The anonymous author, believed to be John Stevens, makes a passionate case against the use of men in childbirth, relying on both medical evidence and social norms of the time. A fascinating glimpse into the history of medicine and gender roles in the 19th century.
