When Midwifery Became the Male Physician's Province: The Sixteenth Century Handbook : The Rose Garden for Pregnant Women and Midwives

Rosslin's Der Swangern frawen und he bammen roszgarten (1513) is frequently cited by historians, both positively and (more often) negatively, as a milestone in the professionalization of obstetrics and gynecology. While the subject of whether the book led to an improvement in midwifery is open to debate, there is no argument that it was the beginning of the male medical profession's move into the female domain of midwifery. This newly translated version (a previous, poor English version appeared in 1540) includes a long introduction setting book and author into their historic context.
