Jane Sharp was among the earliest practitioners in the art of midwifery to document her experiences and perspectives on the profession in a written text. Her text had a feministic attribute drawing from the fact that most writing about midwifery had been done in foreign languages (Greek and Latin) with a significant majority of these texts written by men. In Sharp’s view this was unconventional drawing from the fact that midwifery had been, at least in practice, the preserve of women. As such, Sharp found it problematic that a profession that had mainly been practiced by women had to be described by men in midwifery texts. Practical knowledge as well as speculative knowledge was a central theme in Sharp’s text. Similarly, the work also has a religious inclination which offers insight into the identity of sharp’s character and personal influences. Continue reading →
