Frances Balfour

Dr. Elsie Inglis is a biography of a pioneering physician and suffragist, written by Frances Balfour shortly after Inglis's death in 1917. Inglis became a doctor in 1894 and established a Women's Hospice in Edinburgh for impoverished women and children. Notably, during World War I, she founded the Scottish Women's Hospitals, sending 14 teams to provide medical care in war zones despite facing significant opposition. Her dedication to women's rights and humanitarian efforts makes her an important figure in both medical and feminist history.
