Introduction


Memoirs


Something ancient and new every time



Again and again I saw the strength of women



The knowledge in your hands



I will always be a birth junkie



Women give birth in all sorts of ways



I never intended to be an outlaw



In my culture, woman is the first environment



The connection between this world and another



We were a survival experiment and we survived



Midwives are like a big family with many sisters



You need two clamps and a pair of scissors



Every woman wants a healthy baby



The American public has been hoodwinked



She is the center



Our mothers got chewed up in the institutional process



A clear separation between a woman's body and the law



A shoelace in my glove compartment



The child is the gem



Children came up to me to kiss my hands



A very fine line



Nothing fancy



No two are the same



Make medicine out of suffering



God walks in



A fundamental rite of passage
