| Summary | "Midwifery and the Diseases of Women" by Joel Shew, M.D. is a descriptive and practical medical work written in the mid-19th century. This publication emphasizes the advantages of water treatment in addressing various women's health issues, including menstruation, pregnancy, and childbirth. It seeks to provide insights into midwifery practices while advocating for a natural approach to healthcare, particularly for women. The opening of the work discusses the author's experiences and philosophies regarding midwifery and the use of hydropathy — the treatment of illness through water. Shew raises a series of thought-provoking questions about the roles of practitioners, the management of childbirth, and differing opinions regarding medical practices during pregnancy. He reflects on the effectiveness of water treatment in easing childbirth and promoting healthier outcomes for women, while also recognizing a degree of divergence in thought among practitioners in this emerging field.
