More than a technical manual, The Court Midwife contains descriptions of obstetric techniques of midwifery and its attendant social pressures. Siegemund's visibility as a writer, midwife, and proponent of an incipient professionalism accorded her a status virtually unknown to German women in the seventeenth century. Translated here into English for the first time, The Court Midwife contains riveting birthing scenes, sworn testimonials by former patients, and a brief autobiography.Other voice in early modern Europe.MidwiferyEarly works to 1800Electronic books.Midwifery618.2/009Siegemund Justina1636-1705.997789Tatlock Lynne1950-997790MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910451118903321The court midwife2288396UNINA
