MARCH IS WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH:

Maude Callen Born: November 8, 1898, Quincy, FL
Died: January 23, 1990, Pineville, SC
Education: Florida A&M University, Tuskegee University.

Maude Callen was a nurse-midwife in South Carolinalow country for over 60 years.
She operated a clinic out of her home in Pineville, Berkeley County, and delivered 600-800 babies in her 62-year practice.
She frequently had to park her car and walk through mud, woods, and creeks to reach her patients. No roads were paved. Her practice covered 400 square miles.
Her work was brought to national attention in W. Eugene Smith's photo essay, "Nurse Midwife," published in Life Magazine in December 3, 1951.

Smith spent weeks observing her and going on her rounds with her. Smith is quoted as saying the photographs he took of Nurse Maude were the "most rewarding of all [his] work" and that Callen was "the most completely fulfilled person I have ever known."

After her retirement in 1971, Callen petitioned county officials to start a Senior Citizens Nutrition Site, which operated, starting in 1980, out of the clinic. As a volunteer, Callen managed the center, which cooked and delivered meals five days a week and provided car service to seniors needing transportation.

She is quoted as having said, on turning down an invitation from President Reagan to visit the White House, "You can't just call me up and ask me to be somewhere. I've got to do my job." She continued her volunteer work until her death in 1990.
