A reviewer who must have a ruler or a scale to measure the scientific value of an article. We’ll have to ask him if he bought it on Amazon. Could it be the opinion of a silly Artificial Intelligence?

In 1780 Elizabeth Freeman challenged slavery in court & won. Her husband was killed fighting in the American Revolution. Her earnings as a midwife made her one of the few women of the era to pay taxes. Her case was among "the greatest attempts to put the ideals of inalienable rights into practice.”

A lost piece of midwifery history - I need your help please..
Last month I visited our local library to ask the history department if they had any information about a midwife who practised in our town during the 1940s and 50s.

GPs and midwives in the 20th century commonly carried a medical bag such as this. From 1833, all medical graduates were required to study midwifery. This was vital as prior to 1915, 95% of births still took place in the home. Therefore, travelling obstetric kits were essential.
Long leather bag with metal clasps to open and close the bag.
