Description

This comprehensive history traces conception, pregnancy and childbirth across Europe from antiquity through the 20th century, examining pivotal transformations in reproductive practice and understanding. The book analyses the emergence of medical-scientific approaches to delivery in Ancient Greece, Christianity's profound influence on maternal care, the rise of male-midwifery during the 18th century, and the gradual medicalisation of childbirth. It explores how representations of the foetus evolved into the modern concept of the unborn citizen, and documents the revolutionary impact of reproductive technologies on pregnancy and birth. Published by Routledge, this work presents a non-linear, culturally nuanced examination of how gender, medicine, and society have shaped the experience of pregnancy and childbirth across centuries, offering readers insight into the complex historical forces that have defined maternal and reproductive practices in European history.
