Title
The Relationship Between Maude Abbott and Helen Taussig: Connecting the Historical Dots
Abstract
The literature has scant documentation of the relationship between the important founders of paediatric cardiology, McGill University's Maude Abbott (1869-1940) and the American Helen Taussig (1898-1986). Recently discovered entries in the diaries kept by Maude Abbott provide evidence for a close connection between them. Further evidence suggests that their association was complex, and influenced by outside factors, such as their difference in age and era-related notoriety. In this review, the author attempts to define more clearly the relationship between these two early icons of paediatric cardiology.
