Sheila Kitzinger Libri
29 marzo 1929 – 11 aprile 2015
Questa autrice è un'antropologa sociale della nascita, le cui estese pubblicazioni internazionali approfondiscono il viaggio emotivo di questa importante esperienza di vita. Scoprendo all'inizio della sua carriera che l'antropologia sociale trascurava in gran parte la vita delle donne, dedicò la sua ricerca alla scoperta di ciò che è essenziale nelle esperienze femminili, concentrandosi su gravidanza, parto e allattamento. Il suo lavoro è informato da una vasta rete globale di madri e ostetriche, raccolta attraverso proluse conferenze in diverse culture e contesti, comprese le prospettive uniche di donne incarcerate e quelle che hanno affrontato esperienze di parto traumatiche.
