A month after war broke out in 1914, doctors Flora Murray and Louisa Garrett Anderson set out for Paris, where they opened a hospital in a luxury hotel and treated casualties plucked from France's battlefields. Prior to the Great War, female doctors were restricted to treating women and children, but Murray and Anderson's work was so successful that the British Army asked them to run a hospital in the heart of London. As Wendy Moore details here, the "Suffragettes' Hospital" of Endell Street was staffed from top to bottom by women, and it soon became known for its lifesaving treatments and lively atmosphere, and it remains a powerful reminder of what women can achieve against all odds.
