I must add a great historical fiction novel that looks at the time when medical men were taking over from traditional midwives in the early 1900s, and the suspect tactics they used to “corner the market”: Ami McKay’s The Birth House. Full disclosure- I am lucky enough to be her husband 
Still, it was a Canadian #1 bestseller and recently hit the NY Times e-books bestseller list as well so I am not alone in my opinion.
