À propos de cet audio
From a poor young girl living in Ireland in the aftermath of the Great Famine, Mary Mallon is in search of a better life. At age fifteen, she escapes to the United States and seeks to begin a new life in a different world. Mary will eventually find work as a cook for several affluent families, but when disaster follows her as she moves from each home, her life will never be the same. An astute health sleuth will discover Mary’s secret.
She will infamously be called “Typhoid Mary”, and suspicions and accusations will haunt her. Her story will redefine the strategies of the public health system, and initiate advancements in epidemiology, quarantine protocols, and public health policy. Her enduring legacy will forever change the 20th-century mindset of infectious disease control and prevention.
