She shows how, as men moved first from the hospital waiting room to the labor room in the 1960s, and then on to the delivery and birthing rooms in the 1970s and 1980s, they became progressively more involved in the birth experience and their influence over events expanded. With careful attention to power and privilege, Leavitt charts not only the increasing involvement of fathers, but also medical inequalities, the impact of race and class, and the evolution of hospital policies. Illustrated with more than seventy images from TV, films, and magazines, this book provides important new insights into childbirth in modern America, even as it reminds readers of their own experiences. 606 $aChildbirth$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aFatherhood$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 615 0$aChildbirth$xHistory 615 0$aFatherhood$xHistory 676 $a392.1/2 700 $aLeavitt$b Judith Walzer$0537417 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910823994403321 996 $aMake room for daddy$94062612 997 $aUNINA
