Historically, this shift began in the early 20th century, when birth moved from homes to hospitals. Doctors and institutions started framing birth as something that needed control, intervention, and technology — a “man‑made” version of what had always been a natural, female‑led process.
By the 1950s–1970s, the medical model dominated: anesthesia, episiotomies, routine inductions, and cesareans became standard. Midwives and physiologic birth advocates had to prove that the body’s design was safe — even though it had worked for millennia.
We’ve reached a point where women must defend the normal function of their bodies against systems built to override it.
