Birth

Mothers in Sydney have given birth in a multitude of settings, from traditional Aboriginal environs, to the most technologically advanced hospital. From the women's business of Aboriginal mothers and grandmothers, and the traditional knowledge of white midwives, birth in Sydney moved, in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, into the sphere of medical control and hospitals, with continuing feminist calls for more control and choice for women.
