Elizabeth Garrett Anderson was born on 9 June, 1836, in Whitechape, East London. She was expected to marry well and live the life of a lady. However, meetings with the feminist (女权主义者) Emily Davies and Elizabeth Blackwell, the first American woman physician, convinced Elizabeth Garrett that she should become a doctor.
This was unheard of at that time and her attempts to study at a number of medical schools were refused. She enrolled (入学) as a nursing student at Middlesex Hospital and attended classes for male doctors, but was driven out after complaints from other students. As the Society of Apothecaries did not specifically forbid women from taking its examinations, in 1865 she passed their exams and gained a certificate which enabled her to become a doctor. The Society then changed its rules to prevent other women entering the profession this way.
In 1866, she set up a clinic for women in London, thanks to her father's backing; in 1870 she was made a visiting physician to the East London Hospital. There she met James Anderson, a successful businessman, who she married in 1871.
In 1872, Anderson founded the New Hospital for Women in London, staffed entirely by women. She appointed her spiritual guide, Elizabeth Blackwell, as a professor there.
Anderson's efforts paved the way for other women, and in 1876 an act was passed permitting women to enter the medical professions. In 1883, Anderson was appointed to manage the London School of Medicine for Women, which she had helped to found in 1874. It was the first medical school in Britain to train women as doctors.
Anderson, Britain's first female doctor, retired in 1902. Six years later, she became the mayor (市长) of Aldeburgh, the first female mayor in England Anderson died on 17 December, 1917.
