Slightly cocked spine toning on the endpapers and slight wear on the board edges thus very good. According to the preface of the revised edition; "After training to be a doctor at the London School of Medicine for Women Flora Murray became an active member of the Women's Social and Political Union. At the outbreak of the First World War she and her fellow suffragists laid down their banners and sought to aid the Allied war effort. Working within the newly formed Women's Hospital Corps Murray and her colleague Louisa Garrett Anderson overcame initial prejudice and established two military hospitals in France in the period 1914 -1915. Their success prompted an invitation from the War Office to open the Endell Street Military Hospital in London staffed entirely by women. First published in 1920 Murrayâ€™s account illustrated with numerous photographs records important steps in furthering the acceptance of women in the medical profession. For female doctors surgeons and nurses the war provided not only the â€˜occasion for serviceâ€™ but also â€˜get professional opportunities.â€™ In Beatrice Harradenâ€™s preface in the original text she writes â€œThis record of the work of the Womenâ€™s Hospital Corps in France and especially at the Military Hospital Endell Street is a valuable contribution to the literature of the Women Movement. Dr. Flora Murray and Dr. Garrett Anderson made history at Endell Street. Through their initiative endeavor and efficiency they opened the doors to further fields of opportunity for women physicians and surgeons and not only for medical women but for all women who are setting out or have already set out to conquer fresh territory. We owe them a debt of gratitude the recognition of which will become even more accentuated as the years go on.â€ A nice copy of an important women's medical text. Hodder and Stoughton hardcover

Shelved in Case 4. Flora Murray 1869-1923 was a pioneering Scottish physician suffragette and advocate for women in medicine. In 1912 Murray co-founded the Womenâ€™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. With the outbreak of World War I Murray and Anderson established the Womenâ€™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 womenâ€™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 1915â€“1919 the first British military hospital staffed entirely by women. Murray served as doctor-in-charge while Anderson was chief surgeon. Throughout their lives Murray and Anderson maintained a close personal and professional partnership. Murray dedicated her 1920 wartime memoir â€œWomen as Army Surgeonsâ€ to Anderson describing her as â€œbold cautious true and my loving companion.â€ After the war they lived together until Murrayâ€™s death in 1923. 1409548.
