Wintergreen

Whilst we may believe we have done with our past, our past may not have done with us.

A century ago, the women of Wintergreen had only the sketchiest of ideas about contraception. It was a time for old wives' tales and superstition.

So what was it like back then to conceive and give birth, sometimes to a live baby?

Wintergreen is an historical saga, telling the stories of twelve ordinary women surviving in less enlightened and very difficult times.

This story looks back on where we have been to help us realize where we are going.
