The midwives book, or, The whole art of midwifry discovered

Jane Sharp had been a midwife for more than 30 years when she published The Midwives Handbook in 1671. The first seventeenth-century British woman to publish such a manual. Fascinating in its combination of humor and scientific learning, anecdote and technical description, The Midwives Handbook offers a wealth of routes into the imaginative and practical worlds of seventeenth century sexuality.
