Carol H. reviewed Amazing, if you like women's history - one of my favorite books ever on 8/28/2008

Helpful Score: 6

This book includes the actual diary entries of a midwife in late 1700's, including daily life, family life, how they paid their bills and what happens when they didn't. Laurel Ulrich, the author, provides a historian's perspective on these entries. The historian explains what is happening in this geography and society so you have perspective on the diary entries. The only book I have read over and over.
