She facilitated in the development of Colonial Georgia and became an important intermediary between Muscogee Creek Indians and the English colonists. She bridged the gap between two distinctly different societies and became a surgical doctor who not only translated but counseled those who acknowledged her capabilities. She attempted to carve out a life that merged both cultures and fought for her own rights in both worlds.
