Congratulations! Forceps (b) is the
correct answer.
Interest in and support of science led to
an enormous growth in the body of obstretric
knowledge and to the development of new obstetric
technology (7).One important scientific advancement is the
forceps. They are an improvement over
traditional childbirth practices that place
both you and your child in more physical
danger. Although the popularity of
forceps fluctuates during the eighteenth
century, its invention represents the idea
that women do not have to suffer during childbirth.
Instead, many women, including yourself, have a safer alternative,
which symbolizes both advancement in science
and gain for the rights of eighteenth century
women (7).
