Description
Women as army surgeons is a classic book written by Flora Murray, a prominent author and writer. In this book, Murray tells the remarkable story of female surgeons who served in the British Army during the First World War.
During this period, women were not allowed to be commissioned as military surgeons, but Murray and her colleague Louisa Garrett Anderson found a way to work around this restriction. They established their own hospital in London, known as the Endell Street Military Hospital, where they successfully treated thousands of wounded soldiers, both men and women.
Murray's book provides a detailed account of the challenges these female surgeons faced, including the prejudices and discrimination they encountered. It also highlights their determination, skill, and compassion in their work, as they demonstrated that women were just as capable as men in the field of medicine.
Women as army surgeons is a powerful and inspiring book that sheds light on an important aspect of history that has often been overlooked. It showcases the strength and resilience of these pioneering women, and serves as a reminder of the valuable contributions they made to the war effort.
