Births approach is under control at delivery throughout the modern and contemporary ages. Understanding the act of giving birth within the broader social and cultural construction of motherhood, the book brings together a total of ten items of many other authors, two of them Italian and the franc. The birth control is presented as a guarantee for the perpetuation of lineages in the modern age, at the same time studying for the same period, the office of partear and its transformations, the rites that had to meet women during postpartum and the particular case of feigned delivery.
