Does anyone know the history behind all that? Is the reduction in the percentages of deaths in childbirth the result of: (a) the increase in age of marriageability from, say, 12 to 18?; (b) better health care for women these days? (for that matter, is women's health care really that much better now?); (c) something else I haven't thought of?
