Summary:

The author chronicles the natural parenting movement{u2019}s history from its roots to its modern practices, incorporating her own experiences as a mother and successful OB-GYN with original research on the latest in childbirth science. She also reveals the dangerous and overtly misogynistic motives of some of its proponents{u2014}conservative men who sought to limit women{u2019}s control and autonomy.
