The memoirs of Mary Guinan and Cornelia E Davis in the 1970s reveal their battle with curing smallpox in India, while fighting sexism along the way

During my research, I came across the experiences of Mary Guinan and Cornelia E Davis, who wrote memoirs about their time volunteering in India.American doctor Mary Guinan’s memoir details how she got involved in the campaign and the difficulties she faced during it. Guinan first got into medicine after realising she couldn’t become an astronaut.
