Review: Immaculate deception: A new look at women and childbirth in AmericaUser Review - GoodreadsThis classic looks into the birthing industry and the ways in politics and the medical model play into the decisions that are made during birth. Even though the information wasn't new, this book made me so mad that I couldn't finish it. Review: Immaculate deception: A new look at women and childbirth in AmericaUser Review - GoodreadsOne of the first books I read years ago in my childbirth studies. Not an easy read, but oh so interesting. Times have changed in many ways, but also reverted in many ways too. The over medicalization of childbirth and treating women as sick patients still exists.
