Untitled[edit]

I can add more information about Alice Woodby McKane's life and her career achievements. She was the only black female physician in Georgia in 1892. She generated the nursing program which was two-year courses for both males and females.^[1]. She established MCKane Hospital in 1896. After her husband passed away in 1912, she joined NAACP. She was author who published two books: The Fraternal Sick Book(1913) and a book of poetry entitled Clover Leaves (1914).^[2].

Additional Information[edit]

Hi,

For the 'Childhood and Education' section, there are plenty of grammatical errors. You can rephrase the first sentence as "Alice Woodby McKane was born in Bridgewater, Pennsylvania, on February 12, 1865."

The second sentence can also be rephrased as "McKane's parents died before she reached the age of seven. During this period of time, she had lost her vision for a record of three years." With this information, although there is a citation for a source, it should be in more detail, how and why did she lose her vision? How do you know it's been three years? I feel like there isn't a connection between the two, so maybe make it into two sentences? It seems a little off when you read the section with the marks of how it currently is, but with the changes, it might make it more smooth to read. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Daelyinh (talk • contribs) 05:21, 19 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
