If you've ever stared at a grand, wintery landscape of Montana and wondered, "How on earth did women birth and raise children in rudimentary, cold Montana?", this talk may be for you. This one-hour lecture explores North American Indigenous, Western European settler, and American citizen women's healthcare roles and practices as they relate to birth and child-rearing in Montana through the mid-twentieth century.
