Drawing on archival materials and diaries, Wendy Moore tells the meticulously researched story of the suffragette doctors and life partners Louisa Garrett Anderson and Flora Murray, who ran Endell Street Military Hospital during the First World War. Having transformed a derelict London workhouse into a state-of-the-art establishment, the all-women staff treated 26,000 wounded men before being side-lined once peace was declared.
