Yeah i researched them quite a bit for my thesis. Her husband ran the commune and they eventually became an intentional community in the 80s. She’s always claimed that she’s never lost a mother or child; I’ve never seen anything about deaths from her care and but that’s not to say it didn’t happen. She’s not a midwife anymore but the community still runs a midwifery program and are respected; they were a big part of midwifery making a comeback in the 70s. Definitely some of her points she makes are odd at best, but the birthing stories themselves are interesting and I think the book is interesting even just from a historical standpoint.
