Lying-In
In my continuing quest to find out more about childbirth in the early part of the 20th century, this was another acquisition. The version I read predates but mirrors much of the information in "Brought to Bed" and "Birth", with a bit more focus than the others on the prenatal care aspect of maternity, as well as insights into health care and the medical world as they existed in various stages of American history. The scope is extensive, from the colonial period through the early 1970s, but the book contains sufficient information on any one period to satisfy amateur researchers such as myself. A solid, fact-focused book.
