A passion for birth - Sheila Kitzinger

This fully illustrated autobiography recounts Sheila Kitzinger's life from her childhood, with a mother who was a feminist before the term was invented, her student days in Oxford to her pioneering work in anthropology and tireless campaigning for women's rights and improvement in maternity services.An inspiration to many, Kitzinger talks candidly about her set-backs and failures as well as her achievements, the sexual exploitation and abuse that she encountered in her continuous and untiring struggle against the medicalization of childbirth.
