This book documents the author's experiences and observations during a medical mission in the Aurès mountains of Algeria, focusing particularly on the health practices and conditions of indigenous women. It serves as a unique reflection on the intersection of medicine, culture, and colonialism during this period. In her detailed narrative, Chellier recounts her journey through remote areas, where she provides medical care to women and children while exploring local customs related to childbirth and reproductive health. The book reveals the challenges faced by women in these communities, including high maternal mortality rates due to a lack of medical intervention during childbirth and the prevalence of diseases like syphilis and malaria. Additionally, Chellier highlights the necessity of having female medical practitioners to build trust and facilitate care among women who would otherwise be reluctant to seek treatment from male doctors. By documenting her findings, she aims to advocate for better healthcare solutions that respect the cultural context of the women she serves.
