Book Overview
Twilight Sleep In America: The Truth About Painless Childbirth is a book by A. Smith that explores the history and controversy surrounding the use of ""twilight sleep"" as a method of pain relief during childbirth in the early 20th century. The book delves into the medical and social factors that led to the widespread use of this technique, which involved administering a combination of drugs to induce a state of semi-consciousness in the mother. Smith examines the impact of this practice on women's experiences of childbirth, as well as the ethical and practical concerns that arose around its use. Drawing on historical documents and personal accounts, the book provides a detailed and engaging analysis of a pivotal moment in the history of obstetrics and women's health in America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
