0:03:12 > 0:03:13- In Britain...
0:03:14 > 0:03:18- ..a campaign was afoot to attract - women to the medical profession.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22- Dr Elizabeth Blackwell - had graduated in America...
0:03:22 > 0:03:25- ..and wanted more women - to join the profession...

0:03:30 > 0:03:34- Elizabeth Blackwell - held a series of lectures...

0:03:48 > 0:03:52- ..and the lectures inspired some - members of the Langham Circle...

0:03:56 > 0:04:00- For example, Elizabeth Garrett - and Sophia Jex-Blake...
0:04:00 > 0:04:04- ..wanted to become - qualified doctors.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06- But there was a problem.
0:04:06 > 0:04:10- Women were not permitted - to join medical schools...
0:04:10 > 0:04:12- ..as science was a male-only field.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16- It was harder for women - to be doctors in Britain...
0:04:16 > 0:04:19- ..than in any other - European country.
0:04:22 > 0:04:27- In Frances' time, it was almost - impossible for women to be doctors.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29- The medical profession...
0:04:29 > 0:04:33- ..had recently started - the medical register...
0:04:34 > 0:04:38- ..with the aim to get rid of quacks - and they succeeded.
0:04:38 > 0:04:44- But it also meant that women who - didn't achieve a British degree...
0:04:44 > 0:04:47- ..would not be included - on the medical register.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51- The only way a woman - could study medicine...
0:04:51 > 0:04:56- ..was to receive a diploma from the - Worshipful Society of Apothecaries.
0:04:59 > 0:05:03- Elizabeth Garrett Anderson - was the first woman to do this...
0:05:03 > 0:05:07- ..and was given a licence to appear - on the medical register.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10- Frances started - her course in 1866...
0:05:10 > 0:05:14- ..and paid to have private lessons - in medical school.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16- She passed with honours.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19- A few weeks later, - the society's board...
0:05:19 > 0:05:24- ..decided that private lessons did - not conform to their requirements.
0:05:24 > 0:05:29- It was therefore impossible for - any woman to study for a diploma.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39- Frances' only option - was to study abroad...
0:05:39 > 0:05:42- ..and she went to the - University of Zurich...
0:05:42 > 0:05:47- ..where she could enjoy learning - in a free and kind atmosphere...
0:05:47 > 0:05:50- ..which would be impossible - in Britain.
0:05:50 > 0:05:55- How difficult was it for someone - like Frances to take this route?
0:05:55 > 0:06:00- It was incredibly difficult - and you needed to be wealthy.
0:06:00 > 0:06:05- It was three times more expensive - for women to get qualifications.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09- They were taught privately - and kept apart from men.
0:06:09 > 0:06:14- She completed a six-year course - in three years...
0:06:14 > 0:06:17- ..learnt Sanskrit - in her spare time...

0:06:21 > 0:06:26- She became something of a legend - in Zurich due to her achievements.

0:06:40 > 0:06:43- Three months before - Elizabeth Garrett...

0:06:46 > 0:06:50- What happened - when she returned to Britain?
0:06:51 > 0:06:52- Could she be any type of doctor?
0:06:52 > 0:06:54- Could she be any type of doctor?- - No, not really.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56- In the early days...
0:06:57 > 0:07:01- ..the majority of women in the - medical world took inferior roles...
0:07:02 > 0:07:07- ..as they were deemed unsuitable - for treating an adult male.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10- She went to work - with Elizabeth Garrett...
0:07:10 > 0:07:13- ..who had made it - onto the medical register.
0:07:13 > 0:07:18- Elizabeth established the St Mary's - Dispensary for Women and Children.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24- The dispensary developed into - The New Hospital for Women...

0:07:29 > 0:07:35- Frances loved working in health care - and women's education.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46- At the age of 30, - Frances married George Hoggan...
0:07:46 > 0:07:49- ..a prominent doctor from Scotland.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53- This was the first wedding - of two doctors in Britain...
0:07:53 > 0:07:58- ..and the pair ran surgeries - from their home on Portman Square.
0:07:58 > 0:08:03- When she chose to study medicine, - she faced a plethora of challenges.
0:08:03 > 0:08:08- However, something happened which - could have brought it to an end...
0:08:08 > 0:08:13- ..a combination of youth folly - and Victorian morality.
0:08:15 > 0:08:19- It's suggested that Frances - gave birth to a daughter, Elise...
0:08:19 > 0:08:24- ..while studying in Paris and - this could have ended her career.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28- It's claimed that Frances - gave birth to a child...
0:08:28 > 0:08:33- ..who was then raised as her sister.
0:08:33 > 0:08:37- Frances' mother had - made the brave decision...
0:08:38 > 0:08:40- ..to raise the child - as one of her own.
0:08:40 > 0:08:44- Had her mother taken - a different attitude...
0:08:44 > 0:08:47- ..darker things would - have come to pass...
0:08:47 > 0:08:49- ..such as an abortion.
0:08:49 > 0:08:53- Abortion did take place - and it was very common in Wales.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55- There were many stories...
0:08:56 > 0:08:58- ..of people who found - babies bodies...
0:08:59 > 0:09:05- ..in locations such as rivers, - fields and pigsties.
0:09:05 > 0:09:10- I believe that Frances was - extremely lucky to have her mother.
0:09:10 > 0:09:16- Her mother seems to have been a - person who was ahead of her time...
0:09:16 > 0:09:22- ..who had taken a compassionate - attitude towards the situation.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29- There is no proof that Elise - was the daughter of Frances...
0:09:29 > 0:09:33- ..but Dr Neil McIntyre - is a strong believer of the theory.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37- When you look at - future census records...
0:09:38 > 0:09:41- ..you discover that they - were often living together.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44- They lived at the same address...
0:09:44 > 0:09:49- ..and clearly she has a very close - relationship with Elise...
0:09:49 > 0:09:51- ..which seemed a bit ambiguous...
0:09:51 > 0:09:56- ..in terms of whether she was - a sister or something different.
0:09:56 > 0:10:00- Frances went out of her way - to conceal any relationship.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02- Why would she do that?
0:10:02 > 0:10:07- I think she had determined - on medicine as a career...
0:10:07 > 0:10:10- ..perhaps before she - became pregnant...
0:10:10 > 0:10:13- ..and I think that would - have been impossible...
0:10:14 > 0:10:18- ..if she had been known to have an - illegitimate child in those times.
0:10:20 > 0:10:21- Being a single parent...
0:10:22 > 0:10:25- ..would have ruined her chances - of becoming a doctor.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27- As far as we're aware...
0:10:27 > 0:10:32- ..Frances never publicly recognized - Elise as her daughter.
