About Sheila Kitzinger

Sheila Kitzinger M.B.E M.Litt was a social anthropologist of birth and author of 25 books published internationally most on the emotional journey through this major life experience. At Oxford in the 50s she discovered that the social anthropology of that time was almost entirely about men. She decided she would do research to discover what was important in women's lives and focused on pregnancy birth and breastfeeding. Her five children were all born at home. She lectured widely in different countries and has learned from mothers and midwives in the USA and Canada the Caribbean Eastern and Western Europe Israel Australia and New Zealand Latin America South Africa and Japan and from women in prison and those who have had a traumatic birth experience. She died April 11 2015. Her website is www.sheilakitzinger.com
