Hannah Marsh - Thread: A Caesarean Story of Myth, Magic & Medicine?

About the show

Can Caesarean birth be magical? Mystical? Awe-inspiring? Author Hannah Marsh sets out to reframe what you think you know about c-sections. Weaving together myth, medical history and folklore with memoir and contemporary cultural conversation, she interrogates the fascinating history of the procedure, weaving a story that illuminates some of its potent power, magic and complicated beauty.

‘Hannah Marsh’s ultimate call to arms, for woman-centred, personalized, individualized care, free of shame or judgement, is unassailable.’- Leah Hazard, Midwife & Author, Times Literary Supplement
