The Midwife's Tale affords the the reader a wonderful opportunity to step back and see how our ancestors lived, negotiated their world, understood their politics. It allows us to see how they birthed their babies, and raised their families, and practiced their religion.
More importantly, it gives a glimpse into the early struggles for freedom from servitude and the class system, and let's us see the path that brought us to the present.
