A homebirth midwife for more than three decades, she has been called the “Mother of all Midwives,” and has been credited with the resurgence of midwifery in the US. Ms. Gaskin is the founder and director of The Farm Midwifery Center in Tennessee; editor of The Birth Gazette; and author of Ina May’s Guide to Childbirth, Spiritual Midwifery and Babies, Breastfeeding, and Bonding. She also developed the Gaskin Maneuver, a technique for resolving shoulder dystocia during
