Description

Into These Hands

Edited by Geradine Simkins

Nothing is more important than how we are born. This fascinating and informative book will introduce the reader to the astonishing history and world of midwifery, a profession, a calling, a mission, that I wholeheartedly support. -Alice Walker, Pulitzer Prize winner, poet, and author of The Color Purple and The Temple of My Familiar

The women who share these stories are more than mid-wives they are visionaries, revolutionaries, healers, and heroes. This book is for anyone, like myself, who lives in awe of midwives. And if that doesn’t include you, be prepared to be converted! -Ricki Lake, actress, television host, executive producer of the documentary The Business of Being Born, co-author of Your Best Birth
