"A hundred years ago, 1/3 of women died in childbirth"

I'm going to say that is not accurate the way it is stated.

I looked it up and you are right. In 1915 the death rate was 6% in childbirth. I think I was recalling a statistic I heard on a program about the time of Henry VIII, which was a few hundred years ago.
