Sheila Kitzinger MBE was a natural childbirth activist and author specializing in pregnancy, childbirth and the parenting of babies and young children. She lived near Oxford. Sheila died in April 2015.
A perfect eulogy to a life well lived.
*The Independent*
'I knew that Sheila has been very involved in developing birth
practices, but until I read this autobiography I had no idea just
how much she was involved in. Now I have no idea how she
fitted it all into one life!’
‘Over the last 50 years, whenever there was a women’s birthing
issue, Sheila was involved.’
‘I found this book totally absorbing. Sheila has the most
fascinating life and wrote about it in the same energetic fashion
with which she must have lived it.’
‘This is an exuberant, inspiring book. Read it if you want to
remember why you are involved in birth work. Read it if you a
midwife and want to feel empowered to listen to women. Read it if
you are interested in birth around the world. Read it if you want
to be inspired to pursue activism in as area about which you feel
passionately. Or read it if you just want to learn about a
fascinating life lived through a period of great social change.' I
feel grateful that her voice and encouragement will live on in this
vibrant book.
