Yeah... reading the article I don’t see any mention of the impact it had. Principia had been out for over 60 years at the time. I think the article is being overly dramatic with her race against death as well. The life expectancy number is completely irrelevant. The overall figure doesn’t matter. Once you’ve made it to 20 years old your life expectancy was probably in the 70s-ish even at that time. Maternal death in childhood looked to be about 0.3%. Current stats say about x8 for women over 40, so let’s say x20 for those times... 6%? Non trivial for sure. And yes, she did die. But far from a death sentence.
