Description
Jennifer Worth's memoir of her time as a midwife in 1950s London offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives of women in the East End during a pivotal period in British history.
The conditions in which many women gave birth were harsh and impoverished, yet Worth also encountered kindness, humour and a deep sense of community among the women she treated and the nuns who supported her.
This moving and often disturbing account brings to life the colourful world of the East End in the 1950s, revealing the complexities and challenges of life in one of London's most vibrant and impoverished areas.
