The Trials of Hanna Porn: The Campaign to abolish midwifery in MA - 2 views

  •  
    This is an older but fascinating article about a midwife working in Gardener, Massachusetts in the 19th century. Hanna continued to attend births of mostly the immigrant population of the city despite being told by courts to cease. She was convicted of "practicing medicine without a license" and had to pay many fines and spend 3 months in a correctional facility. Note that the charges brought against her were never from clients, but from the physicians working in the area.

The History of Midwifery and Childbirth - A Time Line - 0 views

  •  
    This timeline is great as it shows monumental dates in history not only related to midwifery, but also to social justice, economic changes, political changes, etc. in our country. I think its important to relate what is going on in our profession to what is happening in the country/city/world in which we work. It creates some perspective on why things happen when they do.
