Description
Summary:Miss Margaret successfully attended over 3,500 home births without a single maternal death, worked a farm like a man and triumphed over the advesities of Jim Crow, poverty, lack of education and the slavery of sharecropping. I've been through the wringer, she says of living in Greene County, Alabama, a Ku Klux Klan stronghold where, according to Ralph Abernathy, racism was so entrenched that winning the right to vote there was more historic than man's walk on the moon.
