The grave of Elizabeth Garret Anderson, her parents and brother
Elizabeth Garret Anderson was the first British woman to qualify as a physician and surgeon and former Mayor of Aldeburgh, the first female mayor in Britain. She was born 9 June 1836 and died 17 December 1917, age 81.
Her influence caused many changes in the medical profession. Being unsuccessful in joining the medical profession in Harley Street, she first spent six months as a surgery nurse at Middlesex Hospital, and later unsuccessfully attempted to enrol in the hospital's Medical School. The male doctors found her presence unwelcome, probably because she was better than most, eventually she was obliged to leave the Middlesex Hospital but she did so with an honours certificate in chemistry and materia medica.
Elizabeth was able to obtain her credentials by way of a loophole in admissions at the Worshipful Society of Apothecaries who, according to their charter, could not legally exclude her on account of her sex. In 1865, she finally took her exam and obtained a licence from the 'Society of Apothecaries' to practise medicine.
Her career is much more involved than can be written here but she is honoured by hospitals and medical centres bearing her name; the construction of the Elizabeth Garrett Anderson wing of University College Hospital, she founded and became General Medical Attendant to St Mary's Dispensary in Seymour Place, later renamed the Elizabeth Garrett Anderson Hospital in 1918, the year after her death.
In January 2001 the Elizabeth Garrett Anderson Hospital amalgamated with the Obstetric Hospital to form the Elizabeth Garrett Anderson and Obstetric Hospital and The Garrett Anderson Centre at Ipswich Hospital to name a few.
