I believe her being a Samaritan was also a sort of taboo.

That was also a factor (see John 4:9).

Shiphrah & Puah: During an emotionally fraught time of Israel's history, these midwives make a brave choice. They decide to obey God instead of Pharaoh. Their motivation- they feared God. These women knew who they would ultimately answer to, and they chose to live in response to that. They saved the male children, and then they lied to Pharaoh's face about it. That takes some serious bravery. We also see here that God "dealt well with [them]," and that "He gave them families." They were blessed for their faithfulness to God. He used these seemingly insignificant women to change the course of history, to deliver and save His people.

“Then the king of Egypt said to the Hebrew midwives, one of whom was named Shiphrah and the other Puah, “when you serve as midwife to the Hebrew women and see them on the birthstool, if it is a son, you shall kill him, but if it is a daughter, she shall live.” but the midwives feared God and did not do as the king of Egypt commanded them, but let the male children live. So the king of Egypt called the midwives and said to them, “why have you done this, and let the male children live?” the midwives said to Pharaoh, “because the Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women, for they are vigorous and give birth before the midwife comes to them.” so God dealt well with the midwives. And the people multiplied and grew very strong. And because the midwives feared God, He gave them families.” Exodus 1:15-21

I'm not sure if anyone mentioned this yet, but Paul had given Sarah as the example of a faithful and Godly Christian woman.

As does Peter: For this is how the holy women who hoped in God used to adorn themselves, by submitting to their own husbands, as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord. And you are her children, if you do good and do not fear anything that is frightening. (1 Peter 3:5-6)
