Review
‘Through rich case studies, the contributors explore the diverse and complex social, cultural and political factors that have shaped maternity care, vastly increasing our understanding of these processes across the twentieth century. This volume will be of immense value to scholars working in the history of medicine, social policy and gender studies.’ Hilary Marland, University of Warwick
