Book Synopsis Elizabeth Cellier by : Elizabeth Cellier

Download or read book Elizabeth Cellier written by Elizabeth Cellier and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elizabeth Cellier, the scandalous celebrity known as the "Popish midwife", became the focus of a large number of pamphlets in 1680: accounts of her two trials, her self-vindication, Malice Defeated, her opponent Thomas Dangerfield's rejoinder, and various anonymous satiric attacks against her. She was tried twice: the first time for the more serious charge of treason, and the second for libel, for publishing Malice Defeated. She was acquitted the first time, but found guilty the second, though her punishment was to be pilloried, not executed. She reemerges as the author of tracts on midwifery, proposing to James II the establishment of a professional guild of midwives. Her writings exhibit her remarkable determination to publish her accusations of government torture and her advocation of the licensing of midwives as professional women, as well as exemplifying the importance of the printing press for enabling women to participate in the political public sphere.
