Earlier this year a birth activist contacted me for information about feminism and birth. Her “fire” was to write an article was lit by recent (at the time) articles praising elective cesareans. Her article was going to be about feminism and its history in birthwork as well as what she is seeing a current “backlash” against the work of doulas, chidlbirth educators, and midwives (so, elective cesarean being framed as a “feminist” choice in some articles). She asked me for additional articles about similar issues and questions.
