Another bit of women’s history in Ireland:

Doctors used to break a laboring woman’s pelvis.

First the good news: Irish women who had this procedure performed on them without knowledge or consent are starting to see legal relief.
Woman awarded €450k over symphysiotomy

And something that needs to be said - For anyone who claims that all of this is ancient history within Ireland, you might want to read this report. As recently as 2010, Ireland’s Minister of Health flatly refused to inquire into its hospitals performing this barbaric procedure.
