Women's Business - The Story of the New Zealand College of Midwives 1986-2010

Published by the New Zealand College of Midwives, 2010, 690 pages.

We wrote the book because we felt it was important to document what has happened in midwifery in New Zealand in the last 20 years; to record the people and history that have contributed to this remarkable, world leading midwifery system for women. Sally Pairman So many of the events that led to the establishment of our exceptional maternity system, happened only in New Zealand; things like pay parity, developing a partnership model and maternity service centered around women, the LMC system itself. Many of the stories are ground breaking and need to be celebrated.--Karen Guilliland.
