Better Births: The Midwife with Woman offers readers a comprehensive exploration of the core principles that underpin all aspects of midwifery practice. Authored with both student midwives and qualified practitioners in mind, this evidence-based textbook delves into the multifaceted nature of being with woman across various contexts and domains of expertise. Drawing upon Rodgers' evolutionary concept analysis, a theoretical framework for advancing nursing knowledge, this authoritative resource systematically examines and analyzes the most recent literature and evidence, presenting findings of significant relevance to midwives and childbearing women, with contributions from international experts.

In the introductory chapter, the concept of being with woman is introduced, along with an explanation of the evolutionary concept analysis approach employed throughout the book. This approach facilitates a deep understanding of the relationship between woman and midwife, as well as the fulfillment of the with woman concept.

Subsequent chapters delve into contemporary literature to identify new knowledge and raise questions about the concept. The book explores global and historical perspectives, high-risk midwifery, mental health issues, supporting bereaved women, providing nurturing care to older childbearing women, midwifery education, public health, the future of midwifery, and other relevant topics.

Better Births is an indispensable resource for undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in midwifery programs, scholars and educators in the field, sociologists and researchers in related disciplines, and general readers with an interest in women's position in society, birth and motherhood, and feminism.
