She wrote more than 20 books and had a worldwide reputation as a passionate and committed advocate for change. Life and workKitzinger was born in Taunton, Somerset. She was a social anthropologist specialising in pregnancy, childbirth and the parenting of babies and young children. She campaigned for women to have the information they need to make choices about childbirth and was a well known advocate for breastfeeding.[1] She joined the advisory board of the National Childbirth Trust (NCT) in 1958 as a teacher and trainer. She held academic posts at the University of Edinburgh and the Open University,[2][3] and was an honorary professor at the University of West London, where she taught the MA in midwifery in the Wolfson School of Health Sciences. She also taught workshops on the social anthropology of birth and breastfeeding. She wrote many articles and books and was active in midwifery education in the UK and internationally.[4] She lectured widely in the USA and Canada, the Caribbean, Israel, Australia, Latin America, South Africa and Japan and worked as a consultant to the International Childbirth Education Association. She was a strong believer that all women who are not at high risk should be given the choice of a home birth. Her books cover women's experiences of breastfeeding, antenatal care, birth plans, induction of labour, epidurals, episiotomy, hospital care in childbirth, children's experiences of being present at birth and post traumatic stress following childbirth. Some of her writing was controversial for its time; The Good Birth Guide (1979) may have caused a rift in her relationship with the NCT[3] and she was often at odds with radical feminist views.[5]. Her work is considered influential in changing the culture in which women give birth[2] She believed that: "Birth is a major life transition. It is – must be – also a political issue, in terms of the power of the medical system, how it exercises control over women and whether it enables them to make decisions about their own bodies and their babies."[5] She was awarded an MBE in 1982 in recognition of her services to education for childbirth. In 1987 she made an extended appearance on television in the first series of Channel 4's After Dark.[6] Kitzinger died of cancer in Oxfordshire in 2015 after a short illness.[7][8][9] Her autobiography, A Passion for Birth: My Life: Anthropology, Family and Feminism, was published shortly after her death.[5] She has five children; her daughter Celia Kitzinger is a scholar and activist.
