Synopsis

This career biography details the work and legacy of Helene Schweitzer, wife of physician Albert Schweitzer, highlighting her role in the couple’s humanitarian medical work in Africa and the founding of Schweitzer Hospital. From the author’s perspective as an American feminist, Helene Schweitzer’s identity as a complex, emancipated woman is explored. Her careers as an orphanage inspector, a nurse, and an editor of her husband’s books are described, and her role in her husband Albert’s development as a writer and as a humanitarian is emphasized. The book is based on Helene Schweitzer’s journals, professional writing, and correspondence, along with other primary sources. Annotation �2015 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
