About this listen
Moira walks Adrian through the strange, diagonalist history of the idea of "natural birth" -- from 1930s eugenicists to hippie communes, from radical feminist spaces to MAHA and the "wild birth"-movement. This episode comes with a bunch of trigger warnings -- please make sure you're in the right headspace before diving in!
Some of the texts we refer to in the episode:
Grantly Dick-Read, Natural Childbirth (1933)
Adrienne Rich, Of Woman Born (1977)
Barbara Ehrenreich, Witches, Midwives and Nurses (1972)
Ina May Gaskin, Spiritual Midwifery (1975)
