Notes
This is an important book, re-issued in its original form by Cambridge University Press. Murray's account, with numerous photographs, records important steps in furthering the acceptance of women in the medical profession. For female doctors, surgeons, as well as nurses, the war provided not only the " occasion for service" but also "great professional opportunities". Women, of course, feature prominently in the stories of nursing but not in those of doctors: for that reason, this is a very relevant book. This book was originally published in 1920 by Hodder and Stoughton, London. This is a reproduction of the original text, in photographic form. Nothing has been changed.
