About This Book

The memoir traces the life of a Scottish physician and activist from family roots through student years to professional and political engagement, documenting her commitment to medical practice and women's enfranchisement. It recounts the organization and leadership of women-staffed wartime hospitals, their operations and hardships in Serbia and Russia, and the broader logistical and ethical challenges of wartime medical service. Personal letters, recollections, and reflections on faith and duty are interwoven to present a portrait of steady dedication, organizational skill, and the personal costs attendant on sustained public service.
