As Ida tossed in bed that night,
she thought of all three wives:
There are no female doctors here
to help save women's lives.
So moved was Ida that she thought
about a new career.
She prayed, "Lord help me spend my life
assisting women here."
The daughter of American medical missionaries, Ida Scudder (1870-1960) cared deeply for women in India who were not allowed to receive medical care from a male doctor. In hum ble service to God, she dedicated her life to assisting such women and many others. Dr. Scudder traveled to small villages to bring timely aid, trained India's first female doctors, and founded a first-class hospital, in which her important work continues today.
