Reconceiving Midwifery

Ivy Lynn Bourgeault, associate professor and Canada Research Chair in Comparative Health Labour Policy, McMaster University, is the co-editor of Reconceiving Midwifery.

"This is a timely and important book. The essays are thought-provoking and carefully researched and the editors deserve compliments for the selection of materials and the ways in which they have been worked up. The book is original, diverse, and compelling. Readers are introduced to leading-edge thinking and developments surrounding midwifery practice. I learned something new on every page." Brian Burtch, author of Trials of Labour: The Re-emergence of Midwifery
