Table of ContentsReviewsA feminist ethnographer at work in the field of birth, MacDonald documents with care the stories of Ontario midwives and the women with whom they work, and honors them with her own incisive and insightful reflections. Engaged scholarship engagingly written, this timely study critically questions stories of midwifery as a return to 'nature,' 'tradition' and 'home,' and reveals the contestations and complexities contained within these central terms - complexities that MacDonald reads, however, not as a sign of weakness but as an expression of cultural creativity.
