This dynamic and enterprising woman trained Peruvian women students in the theory and practice of obstetrics and organized midwifery as a profession. The women she trained quickly positioned themselves as specialists in obstetrics, more competent than traditional birth attendants and doctors. The midwives trained at the Maternity of Lima eventually gained social recognition, thanks to Fessel’s professional and scientific instruction, which allowed them to position themselves as experts on childbirth. La première maternité du monde hispanique est fondée à Lima en 1826 grâce notamment à l’action d’une sage-femme française, Benoîte Cadeau-Fessel. Celle-ci a fait ses études à la maternité de Port-Royal et souhaite diriger une institution de ce type dans le Nouveau Monde. Madame Fessel arrive à Lima accompagnée de son mari et y crée une maternité. Particulièrement dynamique et entreprenante, elle forme des étudiantes péruviennes à la théorie et à la clinique et organise la profession de sage-femme. Les femmes ainsi formées s’érigent rapidement en spécialistes de l’obstétrique et se revendiquent plus compétentes que les accoucheuses traditionnelles et les médecins. Les sages-femmes formées à la maternité de Lima acquièrent une reconnaissance sociale qui leur permet d’asseoir leur expertise en matière d’accouchement, grâce à l’autorité scientifique et professionnelle de Madame Fessel.
