De las prácticas tradicionales a la supervisiońn médica en el ejercicio de la maternidad. Asturias 1900-1931

Abstract

The first few decades of the 20th century represent a period of transition In attitudes to maternity and childcare. Attempts are made for mothers to interiorize new approaches established by the medical collective, still giving considerable weight to traditional childcare practices, using initiatives of different types for this purpose. Women take on these discourses but are able to re-adapt them in accordance with their situation and particular needs.
