OverviewBirth stories have the power to inspire and change individuals in ways that research cannot. They can reach the heart and soul of readers without demanding academic understanding or intellectual reflection.

This is desperately needed in world-wide maternity care services that are increasingly medicalised and premised on an industrial model.
