Maternity Nursing, Midwives, and Mothers-To-Be
In Colonial America, midwives attended almost all births in the American colonies, practicing from their homes and passing the skills they had brought to the colonies from one woman to another. It wasn't until the turn of the 20th century, when medicine and public hospitals became popular and more accessible for middle and upper class families, that women began to choose physicians over midwives when giving birth. When the Stock Market crashed the Great Depression took hold, many Americans could no longer afford hospitals or medication. Despite the lack of resources available to them, lower class women on the poverty-stricken West Side of Chicago had a resource: Dr. Beatrice Tucker and the Chicago Maternity Center.
