Maternal mortality is a modern-day issue that could be addressed with historical womens figures. There are many preventable deaths that continue to occur due to gaps in healthcare access, medical neglect, and systemic inequities. These deaths disproportionately impact marginalized communities. To address the maternal mortality disparities, I would form a task force of Dana Raphael, Cecile Richards, and Henrietta Lacks. While Dana Raphael is not a famous historical figure, her impacts on maternal healthcare was huge. She is someone who heavily influenced the care of mothers through her anthropological perspective on the social and relational dimensions of childbirth. She would bring critical knowledge to the ways in which doulas and community-based care are protective factors in maternal health. Her works reframed childbirth as not only a medical event but also a deeply social experience that is also known as "Matrescence". Cecile Richards, who recently passed in 2025, would contribute expertise in reproductive healthcare access and political advocacy through her leadership in reproductive health organizations. She spent her life advocating for the expansion of access to essential maternal and reproductive services, which is central to reducing preventable maternal deaths. Her political background would be a huge strength within this team. Henrietta Lacks, whom died of cervical cancer, is the mother of "HeLa" cells. In some ways, she is still alive. I would bring her back as the spokesperson for this team. I believe giving her a chance to represent the historical perspective on how women’s bodies have been used in medical research without consent would highlight the importance of trust and equity in healthcare and research practices. These issues directly shape maternal health disparities today. Together, this group of historical figures bring a multidimensional approach to the maternal mortality crisis by combining matrescence, structural advocacy, and ethical accountability in medicine. Dana Raphael centers the importance of relational and community-based care in childbirth, ensuring that emotional, cultural, and social support are treated as essential components of maternal health. Cecile Richards strengthens the group’s capacity to address policy barriers and expand equitable access to reproductive and maternal healthcare at a systemic level. Henrietta Lacks grounds the work in a powerful historical and ethical lens, reminding the team of the consequences of medical exploitation and the urgent need to rebuild trust between healthcare systems and the communities they serve. I believe that having this team research Dana's theory of Matrescence would change the world of maternal health as we know it today.
