Description: This romantic nursery of a great movement. Commemorating the 150th anniversary of the London School of Medicine for Women: The London School of Medicine for Women opened a century and a half ago as the only British institution dedicated to the training of ‘lady doctors’. How did the early generations of students negotiate their novel status, and how did the public and their patients view them? In three talks, we consider how a rich tapestry of archival sources can be used to find out more about the equally fascinating lives and careers of the first women to practise medicine officially in Victorian and Edwardian Britain.
