Summary "Clara A. Swain, M.D. by Mrs. Robert Hoskins" is a biography written in the early 20th century, specifically in 1912. This book chronicles the life and achievements of Dr. Clara A. Swain, the first medical missionary dedicated to serving women in the Orient, particularly in India. It explores her early life, education, and her groundbreaking work in medical missions, which was a significant contribution to the field of women's healthcare during a time when such roles were rare. The narrative follows Clara A. Swain from her childhood in Elmira, New York, to her transformative journey to India where she established medical care for women and children. The book details her struggles and triumphs, such as her training in medicine, her commitment to missionary work, and her establishment of the first women's hospital in India, which was made possible by the generous support of local dignitaries. Clara's dedication to her patients and her work in educating local women in the field of medicine illustrate her profound impact on the communities she served and the advancement of female medical practice in the region. The biography serves not only as a tribute to Dr. Swain's legacy but also highlights the broader societal changes regarding women's roles in medicine and humanitarian work during that era.
