The aim of this historical narrative research study was to fill a gap in the literature by investigating, analysing and describing the history of privately practising midwives in Western Australia (WA) from colonisation to the present day (approximately 1830-2018). This study embedded within a naturalistic, feminist paradigm analysed oral history interviews from fifteen midwives and three doctors, and archival documents to reconstruct the history, and explore the experiences of privately practising midwives in WA. | en_US |
