Reclaiming childbirth as a rite of passage requires us to recognise that mothers own the power and expertise when it comes to birthing their babies. Whether you are a parent, care provider or educator, this book will transform how you think and feel about childbirth.

It’s time for herstory—a celebration of not only what girls can do, but the remarkable things women have already accomplished, even when others tried to stop them. a b Devoney Looser, British Women Writers and the Writing of History ( Johns Hopkins University Press: 2000). ISBN 0-8018-6448-8. Herstory is a term for history written from a feminist perspective and emphasizing the role of women, or told from a woman's point of view. It originated as an alteration of the word " history", as part of a feminist critique of conventional historiography, which in their opinion is traditionally written as "his story", i.e., from the male point of view. The term is a neologism since the word "history"—from the Ancient Greek word ἱστορία, or more directly from its Latin derivate historia, meaning "knowledge obtained by inquiry"— [1] is etymologically unrelated to the possessive pronoun his. [2] In fact, Roman languages originally attribute the word to the feminine grammatical form, for instance la storia in Italian - the Romance language most resembling Latin.

The topic of undiscovered works by female composers has been covered a great deal in recent years. When the pandemic hit, unable to do my regular teaching, I decided to investigate some female composers for myself. What first started out as personal curiosity developed into a signifiant journey of discovery. The more I researched, the more I realised how little was known about these composers and how fascinating their stories were. Most importantly, because many of these women were piano teachers, their work was enormously pedagogically rich. I found a treasure trove of new material from the baroque, classical, romantic and early 20th century periods that really spoke to me and my students.” Not only so, but Karen Marshall has also done a huge service in further elevating the music with such a wealth of historical research, personal detail, and pedagogic insight, all delivered with her wonderfully personable expertise and infectious enthusiasm.
