As in Where There is No Doctor, the Hesperian Foundation has again created a clearly written and culturally sensitive book which can be used by healthcare providers throughout the world who care for women and their babies and families...an excellent resource providing accurate technical information. --Kathy Herschderfer, Secretary General, International Confederation of Midwives

This comprehensive text for midwives is beautifully written and illustrated for teaching purposes in areas of the world in which maternal and newborn morbidity and mortality are quite high. The book is our best tool so far for preventing unnecessary deaths. --Ina May Gaskin, author of Spiritual Midwifery

A Book for Midwives not only provided the template with which to teach in developing countries, but also helped us create an inclusive and grassroots approach to clinical teaching, while showing us how to stay professional as well. --Pam Silverstein, MD FACOG, Health Development Initiative-Rwanda
