In 1800 many European doctors were practitioners of the new midwifery, which improved the safety of childbirth for mothers and their infants. This study explores the role of Dr Gunning S Bedford Jr as an obstetric innovator who promoted the new midwifery in the USA from 1833 to 1870. Two strands of ideas converge to shape Bedford's obstetric instruction. First, Bedford's Catholic faith forbade the destruction of a living child to resolve a difficult birth. Catholic believers and the hierarchy admired Bedford for his care of indigent patients and his opposition to abortion. Second, Bedford's practice of the new midwifery allowed him to challenge the existing standard of care among practitioners. As an educator, through anatomical instruction and clinical training, he provided medical students with the skills necessary to resolve deliveries safely. Thus, he advocated the exclusion of untrained practitioners and midwives from the birth room. Bedford also promoted new forms of intervention, such as the caesarean operation, that would improve the safety of obstetrics in the future. Although his ideals of safe obstetrics were not fully realized in his lifetime, his instruction to students in the new midwifery raised the existing standard of care.

“…14 14This idea should be entirely acceptable to any reader familiar with the history of women and the department store. As scholars have shown (Barth 1980; Leach 1984, 1994; Abelson 1989; Domosh 1996; Rappaport 2000), the department store, like bicycle manufacturers, specifically targeted women and their purchasing potential, despite any extant mores that would ostensibly delimit women's publicity. …”

Although scholars have established the publicity of all types of nineteenth-century women, their public actions are still regarded as morally constrained. We offer one group of public women, bourgeois cyclists, who after encountering public skepticism only briefly were given free rein of the streets and country roads. This propensity of women and men to ride the thoroughfares 'a-wheel' we refer to as flâneurie on bicycles, a technology-mediated form of the pedestrian variety. Similarities and differences necessarily abound because of the requirements of safe cycling and the long-distance rambling capacity of cyclists. We argue, however, that flâneurie of the bicycle kind is largely faithful to the original in that cycling promoted peripatetic individualism, for female as well as male riders.Bien que des chercheurs aient établi la présence en publique de toutes formes de femmes de la dix-neuvième siècle, leurs activités en publique sont toujours considérées moralement contraint. Nous identifions un groupe de femmes en publique, les cyclistes bourgeois qui, après avoir rencontré brièvement le scepticisme du public, a été donné libre cours aux rues et aux chemins. Cette propension de femmes et d'hommes à faire la bicyclette dans la rue nous avons décrit 'flâneurie sur bicyclette', qui est une forme de flâneurie, mais mediaté par technologie. Similarités et différences entre ces deux formes de flâneurie abondent nécessairement, à cause des exigances de cyclisme sain et sauf, et la capacité a faire des randonnées long-lointain de cyclistes. Nous proposons, cependant, ce flâneurie du genre de bicyclette est en grande mésure fidèle à l'original dans qu'allant à vélo a promu l'individualisme itinérant, pour la femelle de même que cavaliers mâles.
