(4.7 stars; 3 reviews)

Dr. Elsie Inglis is one of the unsung heroes of the late 19th and early 20th century. She became a physician in 1894, and shortly after opened a Women's Hospice in Edinburgh for impoverished women and children. She was a key figure in the women's suffrage movement in Scotland. During World War I Inglis, despite opposition and cynicism, created the Scottish Women's Hospitals and eventually sent 14 teams to provide field hospitals in Belgium, France, Serbia, and Russia. She was captured in Serbia when she remained behind with the wounded, but was later repatriated. This biography was written shortly after her death in 1917. - Summary by Ciufi Galeazzi (6 hr 12 min)
