Everyone knew that doctors, whether they practised in town or country, were utterly dependent on getting out and around if they wanted to make a living.

Women had a long and difficult struggle before they were allowed to obtain a medical education.' Even in 1914 the Royal Free was the only London teaching hospital to admit them and some universities (including Oxford and Cambridge) still held out against them. The cost of a medical education continued to be a major obstacle, but at least there were enough schools by then to ensure that British ...
