Introduction to a Special Issue: Childbirth History is Everyone's History

More than any other endeavor, save death, the history of childbirth is quite literally everyone's history. The stories recounted in this volume remind us of the broad themes that have dominated the history of childbirth in the United States for the last century and continue to resonate today. These include debates over the place of birth, the benefits and limitations of medical intervention and technology in birth, the status of women as providers of care and decision makers concerning their own maternity care.
