Linda Bryder (born 1956) is a New Zealand medical history academic. In 2008 she was appointed professor at the University of Auckland.[1] [2]

Academic career

After completing a MA(Hons) at the University of Auckland, and a 1985 DPhil thesis on the social history of tuberculosis in Britain, at the University of Oxford, Bryder returned to Auckland, where she continued her research into the social history of medicine.[1] [2] [3] Bryder's highest profile work has been in relation to the Cartwright Inquiry into the 'unfortunate experiment'. Her 2009 book A History of the 'Unfortunate Experiment' at National Women's Hospital did not support one of the inquiry's central findings (that there had been a prospective study) and attracted a great deal of attention in academia[4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] and in the popular press.[10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] In 2010, Bryder wrote an editorial in the New Zealand Medical Journal, by invitation, responding to criticisms of her book.[16] In 2018 she published a letter in the New Zealand Medical Journal drawing on new relevant international research.[17] In 2019 and 2020 studies were published in Britain validating her original findings.[18] [19] [20] [21]

Bryder has over 100 academic publications. These include a history of National Women's Hospital[22] [23] and a history of the Royal New Zealand Plunket Society,[24] and her 2024 book The Best Country to Give Birth? which investigates the midwifery movement in New Zealand.[25]

In 2009, Bryder was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of New Zealand.[3]
