Human guinea pigs? The history of the early oral contraceptive clinical trials
Today it is estimated that over 100 million women worldwide have taken oral contraceptives since their first clinical trials in 1956.

Model Mothers: Jewish Mothers and Maternity Provision in East London, 1870-1939
This is the first scholarly study to focus on Jewish women's experience of childbirth and infant care. In late nineteenth and early twentieth-century Britain there was deep concern about the perceived physical and military deterioration of the nation, reflected in the diminishing birth rate, persistently high infant mortality, and the poor health of the working class, revealed by army recruitment.

Carers and servers of the Jewish community: The marginalized heritage of Jewish women in Britain
Jewish women have played a vital role in the heritage of the Jewish community in Britain. Yet while they have been revered as good wives and mothers and held up as good models to non‐Jewish women, their history has been obscured by such idealizations and much of their contributions outside the sphere of motherhood has been ignored by historians. This article examines the reasons for this neglect and shows the valuable part Jewish women played not…

Tracing the foundation of the Sick Room Helps Society and later the Jewish Maternity Home, this paper show…
