Shelved in Case 4. Flora Murray 1869-1923 was a pioneering Scottish physician suffragette and advocate for women in medicine.<br /> <br> <br /> In 1912 Murray co-founded the Women’s Hospital for Children in London with her lifelong partner Dr. Louisa Garrett Anderson a fellow physician and suffragette. This hospital offered healthcare to working-class children and crucial clinical opportunities for women doctors who at a time were barred from most mainstream medical roles. <br /> <br> <br /> With the outbreak of World War I Murray and Anderson established the Women’s Hospital Corps WHC initially offering their services to the French Red Cross when the British authorities refused to accept women doctors in military medicine. Under the WHC they and their all-female medical teams set up hospitals in Paris and Wimereux treating wounded soldiers and demonstrating women’s capacity for military medical leadership. Their success led the British War Office to invite them back to London to run the Endell Street Military Hospital 1915–1919 the first British military hospital staffed entirely by women. Murray served as doctor-in-charge while Anderson was chief surgeon.<br /> <br> <br /> Throughout their lives Murray and Anderson maintained a close personal and professional partnership. Murray dedicated her 1920 wartime memoir “Women as Army Surgeons†to Anderson describing her as “bold cautious true and my loving companion.†After the war they lived together until Murray’s death in 1923. 1409548.
