For the Love of My Grandmother. Significant change and dramatic transitions from rural to urban life occurred during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The advent of the automobile, the evolution of airlines, and the expansion of railroads made travel easier, faster and more accessible. Telephones and electricity transformed daily life and brought new conveniences to homes and businesses. Prohibition, woman's suffrage, mass immigration, social security, and income tax that occurred in this period set the stage for modern life as we know it today. Despite these advancements, many aspects of life remained challenging. Working conditions in factories were often harsh, with long hours and low pay. Child labor was prevalent and safety regulations were minimal. Healthcare remained largely unregulated and insurance nonexistent and most care, including childbirth and pediatric care, occurred in patient's homes. Dr. Jessie Ethelwyn George-Brandfield, known as Ethel, grew up in the early 1900s and was a pioneering woman in the social, political, and medical arenas, living a remarkable life of ninety-seven years. Her contributions spanned from early childhood on a farm to significant medical achievements and advocacy for women's rights. This is her story.
