A month after war broke out in 1914, doctors Flora Murray and Louisa Garrett Anderson set out for Paris, where they opened a hospital in a luxury hotel and treated hundreds of casualties plucked from France's battlefields. Although, prior to the war, female doctors were restricted to treating women and children, Flora and Louisa's work was so successful that the British Army asked them to set up a hospital in the heart of London. Nicknamed the Suffragettes' Hospital, Endell Street soon became known for its lifesaving treatments and lively atmosphere. In No Man's Land, Wendy Moore illuminates this turbulent moment when women were, for the first time, allowed to operate on men. Their fortitude and brilliance serve as powerful reminders of what women can achieve against all odds."-- |cProvided by publisher. 600 10 Murray, Flora. 600 10 Anderson, Louisa Garrett,|d1873-1943. 610 20 Women's Hospital Corps|xHistory. 610 20 Endell Street Military Hospital|xHistory. 650 0 World War, 1914-1918|xHospitals|zGreat Britain. 650 0 World War, 1914-1918|xMedical care|xWomen. 650 0 Women in medicine|zGreat Britain|xHistory|y20th century. 650 0 Women surgeons|zGreat Britain|vBiography. 650 0 Suffragists|zEngland|vBiography. 651 0 Covent Garden (London, England)|xHistory|y20th century.
