In constructing this document cluster, we have sought to provide sources to help scholars and students explore the many facets of American missionary involvement in introducing a new system of medical care to China in all their complexities. The collection includes writings from American women missionary physicians, American women nurses, and Chinese women physicians and nurses who had been educated in mission institutions. Also included are writings from Chinese women in debates about the health of Chinese women, giving insight into subjects such as Chinese views on birth control and the practice of “breast binding” which have rarely been treated by English-language scholars. The collection ranges from the 1890s to the end of the 1940s, with later reminiscences that range into the 1980s. This essay is intended to provide historical context for the documents and to point out some ways that we see change over time through the documents. In particular, we can see, as the twentieth century progressed, a growing struggle among both American and Chinese writers with issues of race, imperialism, and nationalism in providing health care to Chinese women.

Although U.S. political and military efforts in Indochina ended in failure, the civilian aid workers’ record is more complicated. As the documents included in this cluster suggest, women volunteers’ time in Southeast Asia had a profound and often positive effect on their lives as well as those of some people in their host country. Some of these women maintained relationships with people they had met or taught in Vietnam. Some of the programs the American women introduced continued after their departure. Although they have largely been erased from official histories of U.S. involvement in Indochina, women aid workers played an important role and their experiences deserve to be shared.

Quapaw Elder Ardina Revard Moore (the narrator of the accompanying video documentary, “Quapaw Culture”) lives up to her Quapaw name, "Ma-shru-Ghi-Ta" – “Eagle Feather that Gets Up." Profoundly influenced by her grandfather, Victor Griffin (1873-1958), who was the last chief of the Quapaw Tribe (1929-1956-57), she grew up with him and her grandmother, Minnie Griffin, in a traditional Quapaw household. Her grandfather instilled in her a respect for education, as well as an appreciation for tribal customs and Dhegiha (O-Gah-Pah) Siouan language. The Dhegiha Siouan language family falls into several well-defined subgroups: Omaha, Ponca, Kansa, Osage, and Quapaw. The Omahas and Poncas live in what is now eastern Nebraska and speak virtually the same language. The Kansa (Kaw) tribe is in northeastern Kansas, and their language was mutually intelligible with that of the Osages, whose domain is mostly in southwestern Missouri. All the dialects of the five languages are very much alike. However, the Quapaws were the only Dhegiha speakers in the Lower Mississippi River Valley in the seventeenth century. Her life story is deeply rooted in maintaining strong family ties, connecting tribes that speak Dhegiha Sioux, and promoting education.
