29. marec 1929 – 11. apríl 2015
Táto autorka je sociálna antropologička pôrodu a autorka 24 kníh vydaných medzinárodne, väčšinou o emocionálnej ceste cez túto významnú životnú skúsenosť. V 50. rokoch na Oxfordskej univerzite zistila, že sociálna antropológia v tom čase sa takmer výlučne zameriavala na mužov. Rozhodla sa, že bude skúmať, čo je dôležité v živote žien, a zamerala sa na tehotenstvo, pôrod a dojčenie. Prednáša na mnohých miestach v rôznych krajinách a učila sa od matiek a pôrodných asistentiek z USA a Kanady, Karibiku, východnej a západnej Európy, Izraela, Austrálie a Nového Zélandu, Latinskej Ameriky, Južnej Afriky a Japonska, ako aj od žien vo väzení a tých, ktoré mali traumatický pôrod.
