With this volume, beautifully translated by Clelia Boscolo, English readers can access Filippini's groundbreaking long duree approach to childbirth history, revealing patterns that evolved over 25 centuries.' Costanza Gislon Dopfel, Social History of Medicine, UK This is a work of considerable scholarship. (...) Although I can hear the loud denials from here, I believe that in Britain we focus almost entirely on the practicalities of childbirth in the past, with limited interest in the contemporary thought and culture contributing to that care: this book takes a very different approach, and I thoroughly recommend it.
