 Exploring the Dirty Side of Women's Health - edited by Mavis Kirkham
Using an underlying definition of dirt as “matter out of place,” these essays explore dirt--something that straddles boundaries, does not fit into a particular category and crosses from one category to another--in relation to women's health issues.
 Pregnancy & Childbirth Secrets - by Gail J. Dahl
This accessible and down-to-earth book came about after the author found a dearth of helpful information about childbirth during her own pregnancy.

Lactation consultant Pamela Wiggins has distilled all the information about breastfeeding that really matters into one compact, easily read and used volume of advice and encouragement.

 Childbirth without Fear - by Grantly Dick-Read
This classic book has been reissued, after having been first set in print in 1959. I have to wonder how many babies it saved from the ravages of 1950s', 60s' and 70s' obstetrics, before midwifery in all its wisdom reemerged.
