Public monuments for women who died in childbirth.

[Wiseplumnet]

AIBU to ask that beside the monuments in every village, town and city in this country ( UK) to men who gave their lives defending ( or attacking) in war, there should also be monuments to woman who died giving birth. Just had an argument/ discussion with my brother about women having had it 'easier' through history because they don't have to fight wars.I argued that the historical equivalent to this is are the woman who died ( or were seriously wounded) giving birth to these men.

In terms of "dying in combat" even soldiers were historically more likely to die of other causes-dysentry, typhus etc during war than in combat or of their injuries. (Of course since disease doesn't discriminate the civilians in the villages they were based etc would also die but they aren't recorded). This only started to change when a member of medical staff first thought to gather death statistics and propose changes to field hospital management. Saving countless lives. Good for her.

I hear you op and agree

Woman are the hero's of the world

Yes, quite..which of the scenarios have you experienced?

Thank you! You have put it better than I did, but this is what I was trying to get across.
