Ida Kahn

Dr. Ida Kahn (, December 6, 1873- November 9, 1931), born Kang Cheng, was a Chinese doctor who, along with Dr. Mary Stone, operated dispensaries and hospitals in China from the late nineteenth to the early twentieth century. Kahn was most known for furthering the occurrence of Chinese women in the workforce, when combined with her sister's work, Mary Stone, developed the first corps of Chinese women medical professionals.
== Early life ==
Ida Kahn was born on December 6, 1873, in Jiujiang, Jiangxi, China, the sixth girl in the family. After her parents failed to betroth her, they became convinced by an “unfavorable horoscope” that she was bad luck. Consequently, Kahn's father gave her up for adoption, and his employer, Gertrude Howe, adopted her and renamed her Ida Kahn.〔Lewis, Amy G. "Dr. Ida Kahn." Dr. Ida Kahn. Women's Foreign Missionary Society, New York City, 30 June 1932. Article.〕
Howe was a member of the Women’s Foreign Missionary Society (WFMS), the women's board of the Methodist Episcopal Church; an organization that Kahn would keep close ties with as she pursued her missionary work. From a young age, Kahn learned English, and worked as a translator for foreign doctors.〔Lewis, Page 1.〕 Due to her adoptive mother’s faith, Kahn grew up Christian, an element that became a defining characteristic of her missionary work. Kahn remained active within the WFMS, and drew upon the organization for financial support of her hospital and dispensaries.
