"Call the midwife"

How much do you know about the domestic problems that troubled people back to the second half of the XX century on a regular daily basis? What kind of prejudices had they to face and fight with to win the freedom we take today for granted?
History books usually concentrate attention on the crucial events such as wars and political decisions, but give very sparse information of the daily life of those who lived through those events and witnessed the consequences of those decisions.
If you have ever had the question, what was life in 1960s Britain for those who were never considered to be the bloom of nation, then "Call the midwife" is a drama for you.
Childbirth is, from many perspectives, a hard and sacred labour. But the drama is not only about the anguish but also the blessings. This is a story of the lives of those whose vocation was to help a new life to come to this world of pain, injustice, struggle, misfortune, but yet...full of love; a story about responsibility and the outcomes of choices we make and the ways they affect us.
The world has enormously changed and inevitably will keep changing. The gap between 2016 and 1959 is ineffably huge and the shadows of those who once changed the world are fading away. The only way to show our gratitude to them is to remember what once they had to live through.

Very well written! I will look out for this drama.
