Throughout human history midwives have attended births of babies. See and hear those women who were among Norwegian immigrants to America, and why they were important. Glenn tells their stories with photos of midwives, especially from rural Wisconsin where they were trusted members of the community. Learn too how their status changed in the early 20th century. Livsreise welcomes Glenn Borreson back to Livsreise for this new presentation. He is a retired Lutheran minister and a long-time historian focusing on Norwegian immigration to the Midwest.
