GPs and midwives in the 20th century commonly carried a medical bag such as this. From 1833, all medical graduates were required to study midwifery. This was vital as prior to 1915, 95% of births still took place in the home. Therefore, travelling obstetric kits were essential.

In 1780 Elizabeth Freeman challenged slavery in court & won. Her husband was killed fighting in the American Revolution. Her earnings as a midwife made her one of the few women of the era to pay taxes. Her case was among "the greatest attempts to put the ideals of inalienable rights into practice.”

Hi #histmed, do you know the "Orellano method" to make a woman give birth whenever you want? Miguel Orellano was a controversial Spanish obstetrician. If you are curious, read on: "Can Health authorities Stop the Medicalisation of Childbirth? The case of Spain..." revistas.unav.edu/index.php/my...
