“I live in the managerial age, in a world of “admin.” The greatest evil is not now down in those sordid dens of crime that Dickens loved to paint, it is not down even in concentration camps and labor camps-- though in those we see its' final result-- but it is conceived and ordered, moved, seconded, carried and minuted in clean carpeted, warmed and well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise their voice.”
– C.S. Lewis

Let her cautionary tale show you how easy it is to fall victim to the tyrrany of the cubicle.

Touching book.. as a midwife and mother I have struggled to become what I am today. I am a survivor of assault and understand the red tape involved in that and currently am living through a governmental process which wants to make midwifery as it was the practice of medicine and regulate our work. Reading this book reminded me of the trials that we as women and midwives have had to sustain to truly reach freedom. If the community and government understood what we go through it may change the deep rooted control issues that we are constantly being faced with. Thank you for sharing and I recommend that midwives, student midwives and women struggling to reach their goals read this and realize that our strength as women will always prevail even if we lose superficially.. internally we gain wisdom and become teachers for the next generations to come.
