Description

Authority, Gender, and Midwifery in Early Modern Italy: Contested Deliveries examines the efforts of church, state, and medical authorities to regulate and professionalize midwifery in Italy from the late sixteenth to the late eighteenth century. Part of The History of Medicine in Context series, this work investigates how medical writers of the period studied women's sexuality and the processes of generation. While male practitioners in Britain and France began advancing careers as male midwives by the eighteenth century, female midwives continued to manage the vast majority of early modern deliveries. This book provides a detailed look at the shifting landscape of medical authority and the gendered nature of reproductive care during this transformative era in Italian history.
