There is a book entitled Birthin From Within written by Pam England that truly depicts labor and birth as a beautiful artful process women all over the world go through. Although I have not read the book myself, I've read her very interesting article on LabOrinth which can be found hereI love the fact that she infuses art into the concept of labor, making a wonderful new focal point in what has been deemed as the most painful moment in a woman's life.
