Renowned for her practice's exemplary results and low
intervention rates, Ina May Gaskin has gained international
notoriety for promoting natural birth. She is a much-beloved
leader of a movement that seeks to stop the
hyper-medicalization of birth—which has lead to nearly a
third of hospital births in America to be cesarean
sections—and renew confidence in a woman's natural ability
to birth.
Upbeat and informative, Gaskin asserts that the way in which
women become mothers is a women's rights issue, and it is
perhaps the act that most powerfully exhibits what it is to
be instinctually human. Birth Matters is a spirited
manifesta showing us how to trust women, value birth, and
reconcile modern life with a process as old as our species.
