I want this book even though I am too old for it to make a difference to me, because the topic interests me. I am amazed that we are still fighting the same battles (plus some new ones) for woman-friendly childbirth as we were 25 years ago when my children were born. The medical establishment's resistence to women, in direct opposition to scientific evidence, is also amazing. Absolute male control over childbirth seems to be the medical establishment's objective. The more they can separate women from having control of their own birth experience, the more control they have - and thus take the power to create life away from women and give it to the male. I have no proof of this however, I'm just thinking out loud! Is it a random draw? I want this book even though I am too old for it to make a difference to me, because the topic interests me.
