Part of 'The Social History of Health and Medicine in South Asia' series, this book looks at the interactions between childbirth and midwifery practices and colonial modernities. Using eastern India as a case study and taking up related research from other areas, It provides historical analysis of how institutionalization of midwifery was shaped by the debates on women's question, nationalism and colonial public health policies, all intersecting with each other in the inter-war years.
