Translated and annotated by Hilary Marlan The Memoirs (1693-1740) of Frisian Midwife Catharina Schrader Spanning 52 years and an estimated 4,000 deliveries, Schrader's memoir of her life as a midwife details the social status of her various clients. You'll get a glimpse into the morality surrounding marriage during this era; you'll also learn of the folklore and superstitions about pregnancy and delivery. From the review: "This is one of the most compelling life stories I have ever read. Among the details that Vrouw Schrader recorded are the fees she charged. She described the social status of her various clients, and charged on a sliding scale according to what each woman could afford. We get a glimpse of the morality surrounding marriage, as well as some folklore and superstitions about pregnancy and delivery in this era". Read more. Paper, 88 pages.
