Discover the true story of Maude Callen, South Carolina’s pioneering Black nursemidwife, who brought lifesaving healthcare to the rural South from 1923 to 1990. When Callen arrived in Pineville by muledrawn wagon, she left behind Savannah’s social elite for a world of poverty, disease, and loss. But she stayed—changing lives one birth, one patient, one home visit at a time.
In 1951, Life magazine featured her work in a moving photo essay by W. Eugene Smith, awakening the nation to her quiet heroism. Donations poured in, and Callen’s legacy grew.
Awardwinning journalist Lindsay Street brings Callen’s story to life with rich historical detail, rare archival materials, and Callen’s own words. This inspiring biography is a mustread for lovers of Black history, Southern history, and untold stories of American medical pioneers.
Perfect for readers who cherish deeply human stories of perseverance, service, and courage.
