Abstract
This book has concentrated on two major concepts in sociology: culture and power. We began by looking at the way in which power has been analysed in sociological thought and at the way cultures are constructed. We hope to have illustrated that both play a major part in the way in which women both as mothers and as midwives are perceived by society.
