Elizabeth Garrett Anderson, English Physician and Feminist

Elizabeth Garrett Anderson (1836-1917) was an English physician and feminist, the first Englishwoman to qualify as a physician and surgeon in Britain, the co-founder of the first hospital staffed by women, the first Dean of a British medical school, the first woman M.D. in France, the first woman in Britain to be elected to a school board and, as Mayor of Aldeburgh, the first female mayor and magistrate in Britain. On hearing that the Dean of the faculty of medicine at the University of Sorbonne, Paris was in favor of admitting women as medical students, Elizabeth studied French so that she could apply for a medical degree, which she obtained in 1870. However, the British Medical Register refused to recognize her MD degree.
