| Summary, etc. | At the beginning of the nineteenth century, a reform of the teaching and practice of medicine opened the way for a rapid and uniform professionalization of midwives. Midwives, the one and only female representatives of the field of professional medicine, gained official acknowledgment and state protection as recompense for their training and qualification. More than medical doctors or health officers, they were subject to interest and supervision on the part of departmental and local administrations, which were involved in funding their training and, in return, expected of them a kind of public service. Since they were often the only available medical agent in rural areas, midwives took on tasks of medical assistance, social control, and disease prevention. However, even if midwives tended to be considered as a kind of civil servant, they still had to endure an ongoing mistrust towards their profession and its potentially blameworthy solicitude in regard to the rejection of children (abortion, infanticide, and abandonment). |
