What a bizarrely uninteresting and seemingly uninformed look.

The focus, for some reason, seems to be whether women at large read midwifery manuals or if men wrote them and controlled the knowledge of birthing in literature.

The whole article is so wholly ignorant in its precepts, it is genuinely not worth having been written.

Care to provide the citation for your quote?

It is typical to expect an unattributed quote to be from the subject text, which this does not appear to be.
