"A Midwife's Tale" was directed by Laurie Kahn. The documentary, released in 1997, is based on the diary of Martha Ballard, an 18th-century midwife. It explores themes of women's roles in early American society and the practice of midwifery through a combination of historical reenactments and scholarly commentary.
