Come and hear Alison Clarke speak about her research and recently released book 'Childbirth in Nineteenth Century NZ'. Emerging from diaries, letters and memoirs, the voices of this charming narrative tell of new life arriving amidst a turbulent world. Tracing Māori and Pākehā experience in all parts of the country, this richly illustrated account of childbirth in nineteenth-century New Zealand remains centred throughout on mothers, their babies and families: this is their history.
Alison Clarke is a freelance historian, who also works part-time at the Hocken Collections, University of Otago. She previously worked as a nurse for twenty years. She completed a PhD in history at the University of Otago in 2003.
