Every Woman's BirthRights gives mothers the information they need to make positive choices about pregnancy and childbirth. It encourages them to trust and act on their instincts rather than acquiesce to the many unevaluated routines and procedures used in maternity care. Clear, challenging, unsentimental and underawed by the "miracle" of modern obstetrics, here is a book which women can use to become more than simply silent partners in one of the most important events of their lives.
