Developing a bibliography to work from[edit]

In the interest of encouraging others to write more about Mary Francis Hill Coley, I am going to begin and build a bibliography. The biography and the film are intertwined (what would each be without the other?), but there seems to be much more opportunity to explore why she was cast in the film and how it shaped her life. It was not accidental or serendipitous. Coley met a series of selection criteria that would help the filmmaker achieve both educational and social goals. She was practicing at a time of heightened surveillance and regulation of midwifery practice, and she set an exemplary model and thrived economically, due not only to her competence but also to her business management skills. I hope others will use the bibliography to join me in saying more about this notable black midwife from 1950s. Jackiecason (talk) 04:23, 23 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
