Jacqueline Wolf grew up in Chicago and currently lives in Athens, Ohio. She has a grown daughter Cora and a 16 month old grandson.
Jackie is a professor in the Department of Social Medicine at Ohio University. She is a historian of medicine, with teaching expertise in the history of women’s and children’s health, the history of public health, and the history of biomedical ethics. Her research focuses on the history of birth and breastfeeding practices in the United States, and is primarily concerned with the long-term impact that specific medical recommendations and practices have on public health.
She is the author of three books: Don’t Kill Your Baby: Public Health and the Decline of Breastfeeding in the 19th and 20th Centuries, Deliver Me from Pain: Anesthesia and Birth in America and Cesarean Section: An American History of Risk, Technology, and Consequence.
