Ngangk Waangening: mothers' stories is a unique book which records 12 Elder and Senior Aboriginal women's recollections of their grandmother's traditional midwifery skills and their own experiences of childbearing. Providing insights into their diverse circumstances and life journeys as well as documenting changes over time, the women's stories highlight the importance of the cultural and educational role of Aboriginal women during childbearing. The stories are powerful and real and provide a window of reflection into the life of each mother as she shares her moving, lived experience.
