When the midwife Jane Sharp wrote The Midwives Book in 1671, she becamethe first British woman to publish a midwifery manual. Drawing on works by hermale contemporaries and weaving together medical information and livelyantecdotes, she produces a book that is instructive, accessible, witty, andconstantly surprising.
