Suffragette Surgeons: The Women who ran Britain’s Trailblazing Military Hospital
When war broke out in 1914 dozens of women doctors offered their services – but they were told by the British Army to “Go home and sit still”.
Friday 26th February 2021 7:30pm - 8:30pm
Details:
Flora Murray and Louisa Garrett Anderson refused to sit still. Both qualified doctors and suffragettes – and also life partners – they took a unit of women doctors, nurses and orderlies to France.
Wendy Moore, author of ENDELL STREET: The Women who ran Britain’s Trailblazing Military Hospital, reveals the startling story of these pioneering women.
