Few career opportunities were available to minority women in
Appalachia in the first half of the 20th century. Nursing offered
them a respected, relatively well paid profession and - as few
physicians or hospitals would treat people of color - their work
was important in challenging healthcare inequities in the region.
Working in both modern surgical suites and tumble-down cabins,
these women created unprecedented networks of care, managed nursing
schools and built professional nursing organizations while
navigating discrimination in the workplace. Focusing on the careers
and contributions of dozens of African American and Eastern Band
Cherokee registered nurses, this first comprehensive study of
minority nurses in Appalachia documents the quality of healthcare
for minorities in the region during the Jim Crow era. Racial
segregation in health care and education, and state and federal
policies affecting health care for Native Americans are examined in
depth.
