Susan Limor honors Shoshana Nussen, her maternal grandmother, who worked as a healthcare
provider and midwife in Kosice, Czechoslovakia. Women tended not to go to male doctors
to give birth and would go to Nussen instead, who handled normal births that did
not require a physician. She was an expert on the use of herbs, and had small, nimble
hands that helped her as a midwife.
