Tina Cassidy is a journalist and author of Birth: The Surprising History of How We Are Born (Birth: A History, in the UK). Her latest book, Jackie After O, was published in 2012.
I just read your book in paperback and I found it quite fascinating. I am pregnant with my first child and I am looking into hiring a doula because I am fearful that my child's birth will involve more medical intervention than is necessary. It is truly amazing that our society has made something that for the majority of women is safe and natural into such a complicated procedure. Thank you again for the enlightening book.
Hopefully, the paperback version of my book will offer to even more people the historical context we need to judge modern maternity practices.
