Throughout history, midwives have attended women during childbirth. Although they were exclusively female, midwives were revered in many ancient civilizations and paid well for their services. For reasons related to societal norms and gender roles, physicians, historically male, did not customarily enter the lying-in chamber until doing so became a lucrative endeavor. Man-midwives or accoucheurs, non-existent before the mid-18th century, were physicians who attended women during childbirth - the precursor to today's obstetricians. How and why did childbirth transfer from the control of women and the hands of midwives to the domain of physicians?Housed in this book are two 19th century pamphlets presenting opposing arguments for the training and education of females as midwives and the expansion of the male physician's role to include man-midwifery. The pamphlets provide historical documentation of the patriarchal and coercive practices of physicians that lead to the control of the midwifery profession and childbearing women, and, therefore, prepared the foundation for the medicalization of childbirth.

This controversial tract, first published in 1810, argues against the practice of male midwives, known as 'man-midwives', on the grounds of both medical safety and moral decency. The anonymous author, believed to be John Stevens, makes a passionate case against the use of men in childbirth, relying on both medical evidence and social norms of the time. A fascinating glimpse into the history of medicine and gender roles in the 19th century.

Why would anyone seek out the very experience the rest of us most wish to avoid? Why would religious worshipers flog or crucify themselves, sleep on spikes, hang suspended by their flesh, or walk for miles through scorching deserts with bare and bloodied feet? In this insightful new book, Ariel Glucklich argues that the experience of ritual pain, far from being a form of a madness or superstition, contains a hidden rationality and can bring about a profound transformation of the consciousness and identity of the spiritual seeker. Steering a course between purely cultural and purely biological explanations, Glucklich approaches sacred pain from the perspective of the practitioner to fully examine the psychological and spiritual effects of self-hurting. He discusses the scientific understanding of pain, drawing on research in fields such as neuropsychology and neurology. He also ranges over a broad spectrum of historical and cultural contexts, showing the many ways mystics, saints, pilgrims, mourners, shamans, Taoists, Muslims, Hindus, Native Americans, and indeed members of virtually every religion have used pain to achieve a greater identification with God. He examines how pain has served as a punishment for sin, a cure for disease, a weapon against the body and its desires, or a means by which the ego may be transcended and spiritual sickness healed. "When pain transgresses the limits," the Muslim mystic Mizra Asadullah Ghalib is quoted as saying, "it becomes medicine." Based on extensive research and written with both empathy and critical insight, Sacred Pain explores the uncharted inner terrain of self-hurting and reveals how meaningful suffering has been used to heal the human spirit.

In England in the seventeenth century, childbirth was the province of women. The midwife ran the birth, helped by female "gossips"; men, including the doctors of the day, were excluded both from the delivery and from the subsequent month of lying-in. But in the eighteenth century there emerged a new practitioner: the "man-midwife" who acted in lieu of a midwife and delivered normal births. By the late eighteenth century, men-midwives had achieved a permanent place in the management of childbirth, especially in the most lucrative spheres of practice. Why did women desert the traditional midwife? How was it that a domain of female control and collective solidarity became instead a region of male medical practice? What had broken down the barrier that had formerly excluded the male practitioner from the management of birth? This confident and authoritative work explores and explains a remarkable transformation--a shift not just in medical practices but in gender relations. Exploring the sociocultural dimensions of childbirth, Wilson argues with great skill that it was not the desires of medical men but the choices of mothers that summoned man-midwifery into being.
