Between 1785 and 1812 a midwife named Martha Ballard kept a diary that recorded her arduous work. Based on that diary, Ulrich gives us an intimate portrait, not only of the industrious Martha Ballard but of her society - a portrait that sheds light on its medical practices, religious squabbles and sexual mores. Winner of the Pultizer Prize. (Paperback - 416 pages).
