A Midwife's Tale: The Life of Martha Ballard, Based on Her Diary, 1785-1812 by Laurel Thatcher Ulrich

5.0

Reread for prelims. Still my all-time favorite history of anything. Laurel Thatcher Ulrich does this so well. She plops the reader down into Martha Ballard’s world and makes you care deeply about her and all the people in it while never losing sight of her argument and the bigger picture. And it’s beautiful.
