Jeannine Parvati Baker on Instinctive Birth:
Go Here
Quote:
“When I began my family back in 1969, I was studying psychology at the university. I had my ear to the
ground, listening to what the Earth wanted of mothers at a pivotal time in our history. Feminism had
sounded the drum and this mother’s heart was pounding. At last, women had the freedom to be all we
could be and, oh, how we danced!
Much to my chagrin, the focus on women’s rights took a surprising turn in the 1970s. My heart fell to the
ground, and I eventually stopped dancing so wildly. Feminism became synonymous with the right to
choose abortion rather than what lay central in my soul: fertility awareness, natural childbirth and
breastfeeding.”
