Jane Sharp
Jane Sharp was a 17th-century English midwife, who published in 1671 ''The Midwives Book: or the Whole Art of Midwifery Discovered'', becoming the first English woman to publish a book on midwifery.
==Life==
Little is known about Sharp outside of her book. She is thought to have practised in London, although no record exists to support this claim. Sparse evidence suggests she may come from Western England.〔Ornella Moscucci, 'Sharp, Jane (fl. 1641–1671)', Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, May 2009〕 Because she identified herself as neither Catholic nor Protestant in mid-seventeenth century England, historians believe she may have been Puritan, which fits with her ability to read and write. Her writing reveals her to be an educated woman, though perhaps not formally, and deeply knowledgeable about the matters on which she writes.
