Rezensionen

'The book is invaluable reading for all students and qualified staff.' Health Services

'...a valuable documentation of the shifting relationships between various interest and groups over the long period when the structure of childbirth management in Britain was subject to radical change.' Times Education Supplement

'Jean Donnison's...book gives a unique, well-researched and richly documented account of the professionalization of midwifery.' British Journal of Sociology
