| Sumario: | [EN] In the Eighteenth century, there were some strong 'tensions' about birth care, a scene of medical practice affected by dramatic changes, which were consolidated with local variations all over Europe in the period. Female midwives' traditional hegemony was questioned by the religious, medical, and political powers systematically, and it was replaced step by step by a surgeon midwives' new hegemony. Eventually, the 'art of midwifery' became an obstetrical surgery which was configurated as a male, technical, and medical knowledge. This article tries to show the development of this topic during the Eighteenth century in Spain throughout different points of view according to the discussions kept by surgeons, physicians, and clergymen. |
