Well-written, well-researched, wonderful...Blessingways: a Guide to Mother-Centered Baby Showers is an important book for American women to read. The importance of having a Blessingway during pregnancy is to honor the woman and empower the woman. Stronger women are stronger mothers so babies also benefit. Blessingways are relevant to every pregnant and birthing woman, to every family expecting a child, to the relatives, friends and neighbors, to the local community in which the family lives, and to all society. Honoring pregnant women is the way forward to a stronger world. — Marsden Wagner MD, MS, Former Director of Women’s and Children’s Health, World Health Organization
