As a well-known practitioner Louise Bourgeois (1563-1636) lived experience of popular Parisian suburbs, middle-class and of the Court. As midwife of the Queen, she delivered Queen's six babies. One of them was the Dauphin who became King Louis XIII. Her habit of language and her vocabulary demonstrate that she was belonging to both of popular and educated worlds. Obstetrics was not free of Hippocrates and Galen conceptions and the theoretic weakness of her written works is noticeable while Paré then Guillemeau began the increasing knowledge of obstetrics.
作为一位知名从业者，路易丝·布尔乔亚（1563 - 1636）体验过巴黎郊区民众、中产阶级以及宫廷的生活。作为王后的助产士，她接生了王后的六个孩子。其中一个是后来成为路易十三国王的王太子。她的语言习惯和词汇表明她既属于民众世界，也属于有教养的世界。当时的产科学尚未摆脱希波克拉底和盖伦的观念，在帕雷和吉约莫开始增进产科学知识的同时，她著作中的理论弱点十分明显。
