An important book - as long-awaited as its title suggests. This beautifully-written, persuasive and cage-rattling story of love, power, disillusionment and struggle calls us to action and demands that we protect and uplift midwives and other frontline NHS staff so that they can protect and uplift us in our most profound moments of joy and loss. -- Rebecca Schiller, author, journalist and women's rights campaigner I felt goose bumps, I smiled, I shed tears.
