Unassisted Childbirth PDF Print E-mail
Written by Jo Jory   
For most people, unassisted childbirth is something that takes place only in tribal and third world countries where women do not have access to medical care, or accidentally during speedy deliveries. It is not, in their opinion, something any sane woman would choose to do, as birth is a dangerous circumstance that a woman would not want to experience without the proper medical professionals standing by.

Toilet Training PDF Print E-mail

Learning about global sanitation

One of the first pieces of advice my mother gave me after I moved away from home was to avoid sitting down on public toilet seats. This advice came in the form of a newspaper clipping, which she mailed to me after I'd gone off to university. In the clipping, a doctor explained that many women have been taught not to sit down on public toilet seats, for good reason. The article recommended that women squat above the toilet rather than risk infections by coming into contact with the seat.

Editor's Note

  • Editors Note Future Issue

    As the old wisdom states: in order to understand the future, you need to understand the past. How true is that? The past entices learning, reminds us of what to do and what not to do, teaches us valuable lessons, and shows us from where we have come and how far. Women suffragists have blazed trails for our future, herbal women have taught us how to heal and nurture ourselves, our travels have taught us to value what we have or to reach for a better future, and our innermost desires poke to the surface reminding us to act, that there is more we want to do. Of course, we need to look toward the future, but the wisdom of the past must always be our companion.
