Genoveva Vázquez Calviño (1896–1971) was a self-taught Spanish midwife from Bande (Ourense), known as A Partureira de Xinzo. For more than fifty years, she cared for pregnant women and delivered babies, regardless of their social status, in rural communities of Galicia during a time of widespread hardship and limited access to healthcare.Naming citation (WGSBN Bull. 6, #15, 7), IAU / Minor Planet Center, via NASA/JPL
