Book Reviews of Vaginal Politics: A midwife story
Book Review: One midwife's story; many midwive's experience
Summary: 5 Stars
I received this book from my sister today. I began reading and did not put it down until I finished it. Not only does the author write of a midwife's contribution to the women in her community, but she brings to light the despicable treatment of Judy Lee by the very people in her community who should have celebrated that someone was giving care to women in need. It was not surprising that her problems began when she moved into the mainstream when educated, insured women began seeking her services and she was able to bill insurance companies. Once that impacted the pocketbooks of the medical profession, she needed to be stopped. I did appreciate the supporters she had which even included some fine physicians. The use of actual newspaper articles, affidavits from people who observed what happened and the first hand account of Judy Lee's story provided differing vantage points from which to view the events. Judy Lee served the large community as a teacher of midwives, medical students, and individuals training as paramedics as well as being involved with committees related to women's health. She was very accepted until one doctor decided she needed to be stopped. I am sure Judy Lee has contributed greatly in her life because it is obvious in the book what a fine individual she is. Unfortunately, since 1985, the people who needed her the most were not beneficiaries of the humanity she has to offer.
