Edinburgh’s foremost woman doctor and the founder of battlefront hospitals run entirely by women.
At the outbreak of World War I, Elsie Inglis became the brains and energy behind the founding, funding, negotiating and war-strained logistics of an international emergency organisation which brought medical care to tens of thousands across the front lines of Europe. From Belgium to Serbia, this inspirational, hands-on leader provided mobile hospitals where they were most needed and where the odds were toughest.
