#GLovelysQCC #HERstory Elizabeth Garrett Anderson was the first woman in Britain to become a #doctor. She first worked as a nurse and studied privately when medical schools refused her admission. She exploited a loophole in the Society of Apothecaries regulations to take her exams and aquire her license, and learnt French to get her degree in Paris. She ran her own practice and set up a medical school for women, was active in Women's Suffrage movement, and became the first British female mayor!
