概要

For centuries, midwives stood at the centre of birth, care, and women’s knowledge of their own bodies. They delivered generations into the world and passing wisdom from woman to woman long before medicine claimed authority over childbirth.

As Europe entered an age of fear and religious control, midwives were accused of crimes that mirrored their expertise, blamed for tragedy, and cast as threats to divine and medical order.

This bonus episode traces how women’s authority over birth was dismantled, how fear replaced trust, and how history rewrote care as crime.
