Blessed Events: Religion and Home Birth in America - Princeton Studies in Cultural Sociology
Pamela E. Klassen
Explores how women who give birth at home use religion to make sense of their births. This book investigates why women whose religious affiliations range from Old Order Amish to Reform Judaism defy the medical establishment, and sometimes the law to have their babies at home. It challenges both feminist and traditionalist accounts of childbearing.
