This book examines the history and politics of childbearing in the British Empire during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. British politicians became increasingly concerned to promote motherhood among Afro-Caribbean women during the era of abolitionism. These politicians hoped that a homegrown labor force would allow for the abolition of the Atlantic slave trade without any disruption to the pace of labor on Caribbean plantations. The plans for reform generated by British politicians were shaped by their ideas about race, medicine, demography, and religion, and so the book explores these fields of comprehension as they related to reproductive reform. While making a broad survey of the politics of reproduction in Atlantic world, the book also focuses in on the story of a Barbadian midwife and three generations of her family. The experiences of Doll and her female kin illustrate how the campaign to promote fertility affected Afro-Caribbean women, and also how they were able to carve out room to maneuver within the constraints of life in a Caribbean slave society.

The importance of spa mud therapy for gynecological patients does not have to be proven - it has long been known to everyone. The need for this type of treatment on the part of a working woman is growing more and more every year. Allied resorts are not able to fully satisfy these needs. Due to this, it becomes necessary to widely use resorts of local importance, which are more accessible to the general population in terms of territorial proximity, which are often not inferior in terms of the results of their therapeutic effect to the more famous resorts.
