Dr. Elsie Inglis (1919) is a biography written by Frances Balfour about the life and work of Dr. Elsie Inglis. Inglis was a Scottish doctor, suffragist, and founder of the Scottish Women's Hospitals. She was born in 1864 and lived through a time of great social change in Scotland and the UK. In this book, Balfour traces Inglis's life from her childhood in Edinburgh, through her medical training in London and Paris, to her work as a doctor and suffragist in Scotland. The book also explores Inglis's role in founding the Scottish Women's Hospitals, which provided medical care for soldiers during World War I. Balfour describes Inglis's tireless efforts to establish these hospitals, which were staffed entirely by women doctors and nurses, and which operated in Serbia, France, and Russia. The book also examines Inglis's legacy as a pioneering woman in medicine and as a champion of women's rights. Overall, Dr. Elsie Inglis (1919) is a fascinating portrait of a remarkable woman who made a significant contribution to the history of medicine and to the cause of women's rights.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
