  • Giving Birth in Canada, 1900-1950 (review)

    Judith Walzer LeavittARTICLEBulletin of the history of medicine2003

    Childbirth is a fundamental social and biological activity. Because the event acutely brings together the individual with the larger medical and cultural milieu in which it takes place, its history can help dissect the complexity of the past—especially one area of that past that has been of recent interest to historians, the relationship between women and medicine. In Wendy Mitchinson's able hands, this is exactly what Giving Birth in Canada acco…

  • What Do Men Have to Do with It? Fathers and Mid-Twentieth-Century Childbirth

    Judith Walzer LeavittARTICLEBulletin of the history of medicine2003

    This article addresses the role of fathers during the births of their children, focusing on the United States in the mid-twentieth century when childbirth was a highly medicalized, in-hospital experience for the large majority of American women. It puts this period into the perspective of changing birth practices over time, and, using sources rich in the voices of all birth participants, especially the fathers-to-be, traces some significant chang…

  • Reading Birth and Death

    Judith Walzer LeavittARTICLEBulletin of the history of medicine2000

    Childbirth is a subject that lends itself to examination from many disciplinary perspectives. In this book, Irish sociologist Jo Murphy-Lawless suggests how her discipline might "read" obstetric texts from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and then she uses that reading to interpret current obstetric practices. Through this approach, she analyzes and categorizes the historical texts in ways that sometimes set this historian's teeth on edge…

    Before 1880 birthing women and their female attendants dominated decisions concerning labor and delivery. Between about 1880 and 1920, however, the medical profession gained control of obstetrical care, and birth increasingly took place within hospitals. Using the specific example of the debate about performing craniotomies (the surgical mutilation of the fetal head to permit vaginal extraction) on live fetuses, the paper analyzes how technologic…
