The History of Women in Surgery

Held on Zoom, make sure you don’t miss this online event where you have the opportunity to hear and discuss the life and practices of woman surgeons from the second half of the nineteenth century until the end of the Great War.

In this online event Surgeons’ Hall Museums Human Remains Conservator Cat Irving will be joined by author Professor Claire Brock.

Professor Brock will discuss the research behind her book British Women Surgeons and Their Patients, 1860-1918. Drawing on a rich archive of British hospital records, she will discuss what surgery women performed and how these procedures affected their personal and professional reputation, as well as the reactions of their patients.
