Muslim Midwives: The Craft of Birthing in the Premodern Middle East - Cambridge Studies in Islamic Civilization
Giladi, Avner (University of Haifa, Israel)
This book reconstructs the role of midwives in medieval to early modern Islamic history through a careful reading of a wide range of classical and medieval Arabic sources. It takes a broad historical view of midwifery in the Middle East by examining the tensions between learned medicine (male) and popular, medico-religious practices (female) from early Islam into the Ottoman period.
