Abstract
About 5 pm on Monday evening 17July 1995, after working an early shift, a twenty-five year old midwife ended her life. Her suicide note clearly stated her disillusionment, her frustration and her profound sense of hopelessness. Her words implicated the way our profession treats women; women as midwives and women as mothers as the basis for her decision to end her life.
