"During the middle of the eighteenth century male physicians attempted to displace female midwives and clinical instruction in midwifery played a crucial role in the growth of the field. ...The 1790s marked a turning point for the growth of man-midwifery in Philadelphia and the decline in republican civic humanism. Physicians and other elite white men make self-interested decisions that were contrary to the interests of poor pregnant women. Thomas James convinced the board of Philadelphia Almshouses to allow him to utilize almshouse residents as clinical subjects for his private midwifery course. After the almshouse established a lying-in-ward, the Pennsylvania Hospital followed with its lying-in-ward.... Poor pregnant women were largely powerless once they agreed to the services provided in the institutions for the poor. As a result of racism, poor African American women had even fewer options in their parturient care and in infanticide cases. Race, gender, and class were important factors in the growth of man-midwifery."--Abstract, pages vi-vii.
