Angélique Marguerite Le Boursier du Coudray (1712?- 1794) was an influential and pioneering midwife and educator in scientific midwifery, a rare woman of influence in a time when men where taking over the field. From 1760 to 1783 she travelled France at the request of Louis XV; during this time she directly educated around 4000 midwives in the provinces. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angélique_du_Coudray).
