The Institute for the Study of Origins will sponsor a public talk titled “Tools for Tots: Broken noses, disenfranchised midwives, and the rise of birth technology.” SAGES fellow Brandy Schillace will present the talk at Happy Dog at the Euclid Tavern on Wednesday, March 11, at 6 p.m.
Schillace, who also is a research associate at the Dittrick Museum of Medical History, will discuss the transition from births attend by female midwives to male-dominated interventionist obstetrics in the 18th and 19th centuries.
