SUMMARY:‘This vexed question’: 500 years of women in medicine
DESCRIPTION:“Is there not a much better thing for women than to be ‘medical men’ and that is to be medical women? Has not the cart been put before the horse in this women’s medical movement?” \n Florence Nightingale\, 1871\n\nWhen thinking of female doctors\, most people’s minds turn to 19th century pioneers such as Elizabeth Garrett Anderson. This view\, however\, masks a much longer and richer story of women in medicine stretching back through time. \nFemale apothecaries\, herbalists\, writers of medicinal recipes\, midwives – and of course doctors – have all worked within a male-dominated world for many centuries. Yet their roles have often been purposely obscured and frequently provoked fierce debate. \nThis September England and Wales’ oldest royal medical college\, the Royal College of Physicians\, marks its 500th anniversary with a major new exhibition that confounds prevailing notions of female participation in the medical professions and wider society. ‘This vexed question’: 500 years of women in medicine runs from 19 September 2018 to 18 January 2019. \nTaking its title from the comments of a progressive Victorian male medical student who lamented the physical violence with which some of his peers reacted to the ‘vexed question’ of women training to be doctors\, the exhibition explores the intriguing stories\, and battles\, of famous and forgotten female figures from more than half a millennium of medical practice. Highlights of the exhibition include: Britain’s first female doctors?\, Women persecuted for practising medicine and Midwives and apothecaries. \nAs well as a whole range of events including walking tours\, exhibition tours and a public programme.

SUMMARY:Ladies of Quality & Distinction at the Foundling Museum
DESCRIPTION:The Foundling Museum present a landmark exhibition highlighting the hidden stories of women in the Foundling Hospital’s history.\nMarking 100 years of female suffrage\, Ladies of Quality & Distinction resets the focus of the Foundling Hospital story\, revealing portraits and stories of the remarkable women who supported both the establishment and the running of London’s Foundling Hospital. Despite its male face\, women permeate every aspect of the Hospital story; as mothers\, supporters\, wet nurses\, staff\, apprentice masters\, artists\, musicians\, craftsmen and foundlings. Yet for almost 300 years\, history has placed these women as a footnote to the story. \nThis exhibition brings these overlooked stories to the fore. Discover portraits of the ‘ladies of quality and distinction’ who in 1735 signed Thomas Coram’s original petition to King George II calling for the establishment of the Foundling Hospital. Displayed together for the first time\, these paintings replace the portraits of male governors in the Picture Gallery. \nDownstairs in the exhibition gallery\, the lives of the women who supported the day-to-day running of the institution are brought to life. Highlights include Mrs Prudence West\, a female inspector and the only woman to run a branch Hospital; Miss Eleanor Barnes\, one of the earliest female Governors; and Mrs Elizabeth Leicester\, an early matron of the Foundling Hospital who oversaw some of its most challenging years.

SUMMARY:Remembering the Kindertransport: 80 Years On
DESCRIPTION:“What is my key message to future generations? Tolerance.”\n– Elsa Shamash\, Kindertransport refugee \nTo mark the 80th anniversary of the Kindertransport\, discover the stories of six of the Kinder (child refugees) in their own words. \nIn 1938-39 the British government allowed 10\,000 Jewish and other ‘non-Aryan’ children from occupied Europe to come to Britain. This remarkable rescue operation became known as the Kindertransport. Now in their 80s and 90s\, the Kinder have given their testimony through the medium of film. You can also see personal objects and artefacts that they brought with them from their homelands. \nAs children they escaped violence and persecution\, but went through painful separations\, and their integration into British society was not always straightforward. This exhibition tells the story of rescue as well as stories of rupture\, loss and regret. \nThe Jewish Museum also has an extensive programme of talks\, lates and family events relating to this exhibition which can be found here.
