Judy Leavitt had been thinking about the subject of fathers and childbirth for a long time before she decided to write about it. A story her mother told resonated with scholar and author Judith Walzer Leavitt, only recently retired as a professor of medical history and women?s studies at UW-Madison. Leavitt?s fathers and childbirth book, titled ?Make Room for Daddy,? has just had its paperback release, and it is fascinating reading, especially for those of us who can lay claim to the last word in the title.
