Description:

In this seminar, we will examine childbirth in the United States from the colonial period to today. We will explore how control of childbirth has moved from women themselves to medical professionals. We will discuss the ways in which women have sought to re-assert control of childbirth in recent years. We will examine how a woman's religious, socio-economic, and ethnic status influence her experience of childbirth in various historical epochs. Students will work with both primary and secondary sources to complete an extensive term paper.
