Hobart Town Gazette, 21 September 1822<\/p>\n

These are first advertisements that I found for female midwives. They\u00a0first appear in Hobart\u00a0and in\u00a0NSW in the late 1830s. (There is an earlier ad for a “surgeon & man midwife in 1819).\u00a0They are interesting in the amount of information given about the advertisers: credentials, background, testimonials. Compare to advertisements from 1899<\/a> which are much drier.<\/p>\n
