Martha Ballard

Martha Moore Ballard (February 20, 1735 – June 9, 1812) was an American midwife and healer. Unusual for the time, Ballard kept a diary with thousands of entries over nearly three decades, which has provided historians with invaluable insight into colonial frontier-women's lives.

Ballard was made famous by the publication of ''A Midwife's Tale: The Life of Martha Ballard based on her diary, 1785–1812'' by historian Laurel Thatcher Ulrich in 1990. Provided by Wikipedia
