Dr Flora Murray CBE, MD, DPH
Murray trained to be a doctor at the London School of Medicine for Women, and then became an active member of the Women's Social and Political Union (the Suffragettes). At the outbreak of the war, she and her fellow suffragists laid down their banners and sought to aid the Allied war effort. She worked with the newly formed Women's Hospital Corps, along with her colleague Louisa Garrett Anderson. They established two Military Hospitals in France in the early months of the war. Their success prompted the War Office to invite them to open the Endell Street Hospital in London, staffed entirely by women.
