Description

Explore the complex history of human reproduction with this comprehensive study from Routledge. This book reconstructs the evolution of conception, pregnancy, and childbirth in Europe, tracing the journey from antiquity through to the 20th century. Instead of a simple linear narrative, the text examines the non-linear shifts that shaped how society views birth and biological development. Readers will examine significant historical turning points, including the medical-scientific approaches born in Ancient Greece and the profound impact of Christianity on reproductive practices. The text covers the rise of the man-midwife in the 18th century and the subsequent medicalisation of the birthing process. It also investigates the changing representation of the foetus, viewed through the lens of the unborn citizen, and the eventual revolution brought about by modern reproductive technologies. This work provides a deep look into the cultural and gendered histories that define the experience of motherhood and childbirth across the centuries.
