ANDERSON, See also:ELIZABETH See also:GARRETT (1836— ) , See also:English medical practitioner, daughter of Newson Garrett, of See also:Aldeburgh, See also:Suffolk, was See also:born in 1836, and educated at See also:home and at a private school. In 186o she resolved to study See also:medicine, an unheard-of thing for a woman in those days, and one which was regarded by old-fashioned See also:people as almost indecent. See also:Miss Garrett managed to obtain some more or less irregular instruction at the See also:Middlesex See also:hospital, See also:London, but was refused See also:admission as a full student both there and at many other See also:schools to which she applied. Finally she studied See also:anatomy privately at the London hospital, and with some of the professors at St See also:Andrews University, and at the See also:Edinburgh Extra-Mural school. She had no less difficulty in gaining a qualifying diploma to practise medicine. London University, the Royal Colleges of Physicians959
and Surgeons, and many other examining bodies refused to admit her to their See also:examinations; but in the end the Society of Apothecaries, London, allowed her to enter for the License

Hall, which she obtained in 1865. In 1866
she was appointed See also:general medical attendant to St See also:Mary's
dispensary, a London institution started to enable poor See also:women to obtain medical help from qualified practitioners of their own See also:sex. The dispensary soon See also:developed into the New hospital for women, and there she worked for over twenty years. In 187o she obtained the See also:Paris degree of M.D. The same See also:year she was elected to the first London School See also:Board, at the See also:head of the See also:poll for Marylebone, and was also made one of the visiting physicians of the See also:East London hospital for See also:children; but the duties of these two positions she found to be incompatible with her See also:principal See also:work, and she soon resigned them. In 1871 she married Mr J. G. S. Anderson (d. 1907), a London shipowner, but did not give up practice. She worked steadily at the development of the New hospital, and (from 1874) at the creation of a See also:complete school of medicine in London for women. Both institutions have since been handsomely and suitably housed and equipped, the New hospital (in the Euston Road) being worked entirely by medical women, and the schools (in See also:Hunter See also:Street, W.C.) having over 200 students, most of them preparing for the medical degree of London University, which was opened to women in 1877. In 1897 Mrs Garrett Anderson was elected See also:president of the East Anglian See also:branch of the See also:British Medical Association. In 1908 she was elected (the first See also:lady) See also:mayor of Aldeburgh. The See also:movement for the admission of women to the medical profession, of which she was the indefatigable See also:pioneer in See also:England, has extended to every civilized See also:country except See also:Spain and See also:Turkey.
