  • Columbus: The Ohio State University Press, 2021, $69.95, $34.95 paper, $29.95 ebook. Moulds shows the overlap of these different identities across the book's chapters, demonstrating that whether one was young or more experienced, rural or urban, male or female, British or Indian, the profession of doctor had representations and realities according to the merging of these factors in identity formation. Prose fiction, advice literature focused on childcare, and memoirs combine to form a "genre ecology" that transmits the message to women that they are incapable of performing the job of childrearing without the help of the (male) professional medic. The increasing availability of print media and the rise of professional medicine, especially the displacement of women by man-midwives in the eighteenth century, created the conditions for an affective pressure applied on the mother-to-be, one with which we still live today, although expanded to include men to some extent and creating helicopter parents.
