Tara Westover
Midwifery was not illegal in the state of Idaho, but it had not yet been sanctioned. If a delivery went wrong, a midwife might face charges for practicing medicine without a license; if things went very wrong, she could face criminal charges for manslaughter, even prison time. Few women would take such a risk, so midwives were scarce: on the day Judy left for Wyoming, Mother became the only midwife for a hundred miles.
Tara Westover, Educated

Julie  Watson
I dream that someday I will meet her and that thought brings tears to my eyes, still. I imagine her in my mind and I dream of that moment.
Julie Watson, Born for Life: A Midwife's Story
