Dal risvolto di copertina interno
"This book is a major contribution to the global struggle for control of women's bodies and their giving birth and should be read by all obstetricians, midwives, obstetric nurses, pregnant women and anyone else with interest in maternity care. It documents the worldwide success of programs for pregnancy and birth which honor the women and put them in control of their own reproductive lives."Marsden Wagner, MD, author ofBorn In The USA: How a Broken Maternity System Must Be Fixed to Put Women and Children First
