Description

This book examines the modernization of childbirth in Republican China from several angles and shows how childbirth reform in the name of a modern nation began in Republican-era China. Many of the lasting changes in reproduction that occurred during the Republican period continue or have intensified. From the creation of a new and modern midwifery profession to national regulation of childbirth, reproduction became a national event in Republican China and remains a priority today.
