Talk:Agnes McLaren

Untitled
Agnes McLaren was a respected Scottish doctor who was the first to give medical assistance to women in India who, because of custom, were unable to get medical help from male doctors. As a result, thousands of women and their children died needlessly each year. Dr. McLaren opened a hospital staffed by women in Rawalpindi, India, setting into motion a revolution. Shortly thereafter, Anna Maria Dengel, an Austrian-born doctor, was inspired by McLaren and established a Catholic Order Medical Mission Sisters of female doctors and nurses dedicated to providing health care to women and children around the world. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Phila123 (talk • contribs) 15:33, 9 September 2008


 * Hi. I have moved this text, giving you proper credit, to the article, since this states the importance of the individual far more clearly than the then-existing text. However, to verify notability, we require reliable sources that are not connected to her or her interests. Newspaper or journal articles, for example, are excellent for this. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 15:52, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

I've tweaked the article and added references, which weren't too hard to find :-) I think the number and type of references available would mean she satisfies the notability criteria. CultureDrone (talk) 08:58, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
