Ida Scudder by Janet Benge
Healing Bodies, Touching Hearts
Born to missionaries in India, a young woman resists following their path until a tragic night when three women die in childbirth compels her to become a doctor and return to serve those without access to female medical care. Battling cultural barriers, disease, and scarce resources, she establishes clinics, a hospital, and a pioneering medical college that trains women to heal their communities. Her journey is a testament to compassion, perseverance, and faith that reshaped healthcare across South India.
