Obstructed Labour: Race and Gender in the Re-Emergence of Midwifery
Sheryl Nestel
Analyzes how the movement to legalize midwifery in Ontario reproduced racial inequality by excluding from practice hundreds of professional midwives from the global south. This work offers a counter-history of the re-emergence of midwifery, a feminist project that represented itself as fundamentally concerned with social equity.
