Say Anarcha

Say Anarcha explores the often-overlooked story of Anarcha, an enslaved woman whose sacrifices were pivotal in the birth of modern gynecology, overshadowed by Dr. J. Marion Sims, once celebrated as the "father of modern gynecology." While Sims gained fame for his surgical innovations, Hallman uncovers Anarcha's crucial role in shaping women's health and highlights her contributions as a midwife and healer. This compelling narrative seeks to restore Anarcha's legacy and elevate her to the rightful position of importance in the history of women's medical care.
