Adding Images
Do images in the article enhance understanding of the topic? The single image so far contained could use further captioning, and the article would benefit from more images. I am planning to look for other images on Wikimedia. If I cannot find them, I will strive to add them. I will be looking for images of Breckenridge or members of FNS on horseback, since that was the mode of transportation the midwives used and were known for. I'll also look for an image of the postage stamp created in her honor. JECason (talk) 19:43, 14 April 2020 (UTC)

Restructuring and Expanding
I have been working in my sandbox to restructure and expand the biography of Mary Breckinridge. I sought to separate her family and professional life so that the latter stands on its own more fully. I also expanded a formal and practical education section because so much of her training and preparation for FNS came from a visiting/observing plan she set for herself. I have also framed her European experience as a model for the KY program she established. Finally, in selecting biographical content, I emphasized how early experiences set the stage for her achievements. I will plan to move the revised article over a section at a time.
