Midwife Mary Francis Coley
I recently watched the educational documentary film, “All My Babies: A Midwife’s Own Story,” featuring Midwife Mary Francis Hill Coley, using the Library of Congress Youtube channel. I was so impressed by the film and it’s star actor that I wanted to write this essay about her. I invite you to watch the film for yourself, but to recap, in the film you will see a phenomenal example of an extraordinary midwife nurse in her home community practice. In light of the current worldwide discrepancies in healthcare and urgent demand for access, people could learn a lot from Mary Coley. Narrated and acted by Mary herself, the film acts as a template for any beginner to midwifery and provides sound advice to any midwife acting in a rural or field setting. In short, if left with no guidebook, and forced to perform an emergency delivery, this film could make all the difference for you. I have decided that she is the face for my inspiration board in the coming year. What the world needs now, is Midwife Mary Coley.
