This fascinating new book radically rewrites all that we know about eighteenth-century childbirth by placing women's voices at the centre of the story. Utilising an extensive and under-researched body of materials, such as letters, diaries and recipe books, the volume explores the rituals of childbirth as well as how motherhood affected a woman's relationships with those closest to her and with her community.
