Hello, my name is Iris. I am doing a research project on Susan La Flesche Picotte and would like to maybe talk to you about Susan. Maybe we could set up an interview?
I am researching remarkable women who have contributed to our society. So far, I’ve written about Hedy Lamarr’s scientific contributions that in the future, paved the way for wireless technology. Audrey Hepburn, who worked at a young age for the Dutch Resistance during WWII. Nancy Green, the original Aunt Jemima and her work in civil rights and activism to abolish hunger and poverty, Major General Jeanne Holm, the highest ranking officer at the time of her promotion who paved the way for women in the military to expand their roles and her work to gain parity for women veterans. Now I am researching Susan La Flesche-Picotte, the first female Native American physician and Native American advocate. She was a remarkable woman in a time when women physicians and scientists, let alone being Native American, were a rarity and had to face a wall of resistance in a time when women had very few opportunities. She was ahead of her time in her work as a physician and advocating for public health. The quote above is what spurred her to become a physician. A white doctor refused to treat a Native American woman who was gravely ill and as a result of lack of treatment and care, would die.
