Ritual and Conflict: The Social Relations of Childbirth in Early Modern England - The History of Medicine in Context New edition
Adrian Wilson
This book places childbirth in early-modern England within a wider network of social institutions and relationships. Starting with illegitimacy - the violation of the marital norm - it proceeds through marriage to the wider gender-order and so to the 'ceremony of childbirth', the popular ritual through which women collectively controlled this.
