Dorset Family History Society is hosting a Zoom Meeting with IAN PORTER talking on 'ELIZABETH GARRETT ANDERSON - THE FIRST WOMAN DOCTOR'.
Ian Porter is a historian, novelist, public speaker and walks guide. He guides 50 different walks in London and does 25 different talks on history subjects. His particular expertise is 19th and early 20th century women’s history such as the Suffragettes, Women in the Great War, Elizabeth Garrett Anderson (First Woman Doctor).
There are three women who could be said to be our first woman doctor. Ian starts with the first two, and then goes on to tell of the huge number of hoops Elizabeth Garrett Anderson had to jump through to become officially the first British woman doctor. And then she had to try and find a job – not easy.
