The Midwives Book: or The Whole Art of Midwifery Discovered - Women Writers in English 1350-1850
Jane Sharp
When the midwife Jane Sharp wrote The Midwives Book in 1671, she became the first British woman to publish a midwifery manual. Drawing on works by her male contemporaries, and weaving together medical information and lively anecdotes, she produced a book that is instructive, accessible, witty, and constantly surprising.
