    From Motherwhit by Onnie Lee Logan is truly different from many tales that we have read about during class. The Motherwhit talks about Onnie Lee Logan's experience as a domestic servant and a midwife. Onnie Lee Logan's stories were unique and different talking about her techniques as well as in a way discussing how her race, and gender played into her role in not getting a renewed license. As Onnie Lee Logan was a woman one of sixteen in a black rural family in Alabama. Onnie Lee Logan's story is one that is vital in discussing the faults in the system, especially in women giving birth to their children, and the complications that follow suit.

    The whole story is her talking about how she does her work as a midwife, and how she does it is great. The main purpose of her story is to explain how to do it in order for others to use her tips and tricks in order to make having a baby way easier for everyone involved. She talks about the ways in which she gives them love and how much she cares for each and every single one of them. The quote shows how the way in which she does her job is effective and that everyone loves it and that she is able to spread her gift to the world as god would have intended it. The other reason that she wanted to spread this was in order to show that others doctors and physicians are not doing delivers correctly. Which has led to an increase in infant mortality by 15%.
