Witnessing Birth, Giving Birth, Researching Birth, Bettering Birth
While the physiology of biological events such as conception, birth, and breastfeeding are largely identical across time, geography, and culture, the practices that shape women's experiences of conception, birth, and breastfeeding differ across time and place according to the ever-changing emphases of medical and popular culture. In the United States, as in most other wealthy countries, birth and infant feeding practices have changed continually …

Risk and Reputation: Obstetricians, Cesareans, and Consent
When physicians performed cesarean sections in the nineteenth century, they customarily sought agreement from all present before proceeding. In contrast, after the introduction of electronic fetal monitoring in the late 1960s, obstetricians obtained permission for a cesarean by offering a choice that ensured consent-give birth by cesarean or give birth vaginally to a damaged or dead baby. This article argues that the manner in which physicians ob…

What Feminists Can Do for Breastfeeding and What Breastfeeding Can Do for Feminists
Wolf Responds
Low Breastfeeding Rates and Public Health in the United States
The medical community has orchestrated breastfeeding campaigns in response to low breastfeeding rates twice in US history. The first campaigns occurred in the early 20th century after reformers linked diarrhea, which caused the majority of infant deaths, to the use of cows’ milk as an infant food. Today, given studies showing that numerous diseases and conditions can be prevented or limited in severity by prolonged breastfeeding, a practice shunn…
Mighty Glad to Gasp in the Gas: Perceptions of Pain and the Traditional Timing of Obstetric Anesthesia
Medical historians have long argued that while birth remained in the home women controlled the event. However, a detailed examination of the prevalent use of obstetric anesthesia beginning in the late 19th century indicates that parturients allowed physicians to define appropriate obstetric treatment even when home birth was still the norm and that this deference led to the use of obstetric anesthesia in a manner that made no physiological sense.…

Mercenary Hirelings" or "A Great Blessing: Doctors' and Mothers' Conflicted Perceptions of Wet Nurses and the Ramifications for Infant Feeding in Chicago, 1871-1961
Well into the twentieth century, physicians hired wet nurses to breastfeed babies in hospitals. Well-to-do families also employed them--almost always through the family doctor--as live-in servants. Physicians went to unusual lengths to find wet nurses because they deemed human milk vital to infants' health. Yet some of these doctors were also uneasy with wet nurses, arguing that they were low-class and unreliable and might produce milk harmful to…
