Description
Jennifer Worth's memoir of her time as a midwife in 1950s London offers a poignant and thought-provoking glimpse into the lives of women in one of the UK's most impoverished communities.
Working in the shadow of poverty and social injustice, Jennifer witnessed both the brutal and the beautiful, as well as the kindness and resilience of the women she treated. Her story is one of humanity and compassion, set against the vibrant and often brutal backdrop of the East End in the 1950s.
This is a deeply moving and often humorous account of one woman's experiences, full of vivid characters and a strong sense of community. It is a powerful tribute to the women who worked tirelessly to bring hope and care to those in need.
