Born : a history of childbirth
Inglis, Lucy2025
Book
There is a history of humanity that has never been told - overlooked and unrecorded for millennia: the story of how we are born. Acclaimed cultural historian Lucy Inglis takes the reader on an epic journey through the stories of women over hundreds of thousands of years. From ancient Mesopotamian birthing practices to the lost contraceptives of Ancient Rome and the strange story of the feminists who fought for the right to forget childbirth, this is a truly sweeping history that explores the competing ideologies and lived realities that have shaped so many lives.
