'One of the many strengths of the book is that it focuses on nursing and midwifery, discussing the tensions between these professions and offering a balanced exploration of the similarities and differences between them.' - Rachel Sales, Senior Lecturer in Nursing, University of the West of England, UK 'I would recommend this book to my undergraduate students as a way of putting their chosen profession in context. It is comparative, it covers major developments succinctly, and attempts to link historical features to contemporary issues and debate.' - Tania McIntosh, Lecturer in Midwifery, University of Nottingham, UK
