-I was able to study the subject -of my choice at university. | 0:00:07 | 0:00:11 | |
-I know that many women fought -for me to have that right... | 0:00:11 | 0:00:15 | |
-..and none more so than -Frances Hoggan from Brecon. | 0:00:15 | 0:00:18 | |
-Frances was the -first British woman... | 0:00:20 | 0:00:23 | |
-..to receive a medical degree -from an European university. | 0:00:23 | 0:00:27 | |
-She was a strong believer -in equal rights for men and women. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:37 | |
-Society was very narrow-minded -when it came to educating women. | 0:00:39 | 0:00:43 | |
-Family acquaintances were horrified -that I wanted to go to university. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:48 | |
-Conforming to women's status -and Victorian morality... | 0:00:49 | 0:00:53 | |
-..was challenging for Frances. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:56 | |
-When she had her child... | 0:00:56 | 0:00:58 | |
-..it would have been difficult -to continue her studies... | 0:00:59 | 0:01:02 | |
-..and a career was not an option. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:05 | |
-But she was determined and had an -adventurous and successful career. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:11 | |
-She went to Zurich to be a doctor. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:13 | |
-She also spent time in South Africa, -India and with the black Americans. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:18 | |
-She was a very modern figure. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:21 | |
-Today, men and women study together -at the Swansea School of Medicine. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:51 | |
-But this was not the case -150 years ago. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:54 | |
-It was impossible for a woman to -have a medical degree in Britain. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:59 | |
-There was strong opposition -against it. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:02 | |
-Men were at the forefront -and society accepted this. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:06 | |
-An increasing number of women -wanted to study medicine... | 0:02:06 | 0:02:10 | |
-..including Frances Hoggan. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:12 | |
-She lived an exciting life... | 0:02:15 | 0:02:17 | |
-..and travelled the world. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:20 | |
-But her journey started north -of the Brecon Beacons in Brecon. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:25 | |
-In 1843, -Frances was born in this house... | 0:02:32 | 0:02:36 | |
-..the daughter to Richard -and Georgiana Morgan. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:39 | |
-Her father was a church curate. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:42 | |
-He was promoted to the role of vicar -and the family relocated to Baglan. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:47 | |
-Frances was the oldest of five... | 0:02:47 | 0:02:49 | |
-..and her father died -when she was just eight years old. | 0:02:49 | 0:02:54 | |
-After studying at the -local school in Cowbridge... | 0:02:54 | 0:02:57 | |
-..she moved to Paris -to continue her studies aged 15. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:01 | |
-In France, -she experienced an exotic life... | 0:03:02 | 0:03:05 | |
-..and considered becoming a doctor. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:08 | |
-In Britain... | 0:03:12 | 0:03:13 | |
-..a campaign was afoot to attract -women to the medical profession. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:18 | |
-Dr Elizabeth Blackwell -had graduated in America... | 0:03:18 | 0:03:22 | |
-..and wanted more women -to join the profession... | 0:03:22 | 0:03:25 | |
-..despite it being impossible for -women to study medicine in Britain. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:30 | |
-Elizabeth Blackwell -held a series of lectures... | 0:03:30 | 0:03:34 | |
-..for the Langham Circle in London. | 0:03:34 | 0:03:37 | |
-The Langham Circle -was a society of educated women... | 0:03:37 | 0:03:41 | |
-..who were interested -in the issues of the day. | 0:03:41 | 0:03:45 | |
-They discussed different subjects... | 0:03:45 | 0:03:47 | |
-..and the lectures inspired some -members of the Langham Circle... | 0:03:48 | 0:03:52 | |
-..to apply for medicine. | 0:03:52 | 0:03:56 | |
-For example, Elizabeth Garrett -and Sophia Jex-Blake... | 0:03:56 | 0:04:00 | |
-..wanted to become -qualified doctors. | 0:04:00 | 0:04:04 | |
-But there was a problem. | 0:04:04 | 0:04:06 | |
-Women were not permitted -to join medical schools... | 0:04:06 | 0:04:10 | |
-..as science was a male-only field. | 0:04:10 | 0:04:12 | |
-It was harder for women -to be doctors in Britain... | 0:04:13 | 0:04:16 | |
-..than in any other -European country. | 0:04:16 | 0:04:19 | |
-In Frances' time, it was almost -impossible for women to be doctors. | 0:04:22 | 0:04:27 | |
-The medical profession... | 0:04:27 | 0:04:29 | |
-..had recently started -the medical register... | 0:04:29 | 0:04:33 | |
-..with the aim to get rid of quacks -and they succeeded. | 0:04:34 | 0:04:38 | |
-But it also meant that women who -didn't achieve a British degree... | 0:04:38 | 0:04:44 | |
-..would not be included -on the medical register. | 0:04:44 | 0:04:47 | |
-The only way a woman -could study medicine... | 0:04:48 | 0:04:51 | |
-..was to receive a diploma from the -Worshipful Society of Apothecaries. | 0:04:51 | 0:04:56 | |
-Elizabeth Garrett Anderson -was the first woman to do this... | 0:04:59 | 0:05:03 | |
-..and was given a licence to appear -on the medical register. | 0:05:03 | 0:05:07 | |
-Frances started -her course in 1866... | 0:05:07 | 0:05:10 | |
-..and paid to have private lessons -in medical school. | 0:05:10 | 0:05:14 | |
-She passed with honours. | 0:05:14 | 0:05:16 | |
-A few weeks later, -the society's board... | 0:05:16 | 0:05:19 | |
-..decided that private lessons did -not conform to their requirements. | 0:05:19 | 0:05:24 | |
-It was therefore impossible for -any woman to study for a diploma. | 0:05:24 | 0:05:29 | |
-Frances' only option -was to study abroad... | 0:05:36 | 0:05:39 | |
-..and she went to the -University of Zurich... | 0:05:39 | 0:05:42 | |
-..where she could enjoy learning -in a free and kind atmosphere... | 0:05:42 | 0:05:47 | |
-..which would be impossible -in Britain. | 0:05:47 | 0:05:50 | |
-How difficult was it for someone -like Frances to take this route? | 0:05:50 | 0:05:55 | |
-It was incredibly difficult -and you needed to be wealthy. | 0:05:55 | 0:06:00 | |
-It was three times more expensive -for women to get qualifications. | 0:06:00 | 0:06:05 | |
-They were taught privately -and kept apart from men. | 0:06:05 | 0:06:09 | |
-She completed a six-year course -in three years... | 0:06:09 | 0:06:14 | |
-..learnt Sanskrit -in her spare time... | 0:06:14 | 0:06:17 | |
-..and wrote a thesis -on muscular dystrophy. | 0:06:17 | 0:06:21 | |
-She became something of a legend -in Zurich due to her achievements. | 0:06:21 | 0:06:26 | |
-I'm amazed she isn't -better known in Wales. | 0:06:26 | 0:06:29 | |
-Frances received her degree -in Zurich in March 1870. | 0:06:35 | 0:06:40 | |
-Three months before -Elizabeth Garrett... | 0:06:40 | 0:06:43 | |
-..obtained her degree -from Sorbonne in Paris. | 0:06:43 | 0:06:46 | |
-What happened -when she returned to Britain? | 0:06:46 | 0:06:50 | |
-Could she be any type of doctor? | 0:06:51 | 0:06:52 | |
-Could she be any type of doctor? - -No, not really. | 0:06:52 | 0:06:54 | |
-In the early days... | 0:06:54 | 0:06:56 | |
-..the majority of women in the -medical world took inferior roles... | 0:06:57 | 0:07:01 | |
-..as they were deemed unsuitable -for treating an adult male. | 0:07:02 | 0:07:07 | |
-She went to work -with Elizabeth Garrett... | 0:07:07 | 0:07:10 | |
-..who had made it -onto the medical register. | 0:07:10 | 0:07:13 | |
-Elizabeth established the St Mary's -Dispensary for Women and Children. | 0:07:13 | 0:07:18 | |
-The dispensary developed into -The New Hospital for Women... | 0:07:21 | 0:07:24 | |
-..and was at the forefront -for treating women and children. | 0:07:25 | 0:07:29 | |
-Frances loved working in health care -and women's education. | 0:07:29 | 0:07:35 | |
-At the age of 30, -Frances married George Hoggan... | 0:07:43 | 0:07:46 | |
-..a prominent doctor from Scotland. | 0:07:46 | 0:07:49 | |
-This was the first wedding -of two doctors in Britain... | 0:07:49 | 0:07:53 | |
-..and the pair ran surgeries -from their home on Portman Square. | 0:07:53 | 0:07:58 | |
-When she chose to study medicine, -she faced a plethora of challenges. | 0:07:58 | 0:08:03 | |
-However, something happened which -could have brought it to an end... | 0:08:03 | 0:08:08 | |
-..a combination of youth folly -and Victorian morality. | 0:08:08 | 0:08:13 | |
-It's suggested that Frances -gave birth to a daughter, Elise... | 0:08:15 | 0:08:19 | |
-..while studying in Paris and -this could have ended her career. | 0:08:19 | 0:08:24 | |
-It's claimed that Frances -gave birth to a child... | 0:08:25 | 0:08:28 | |
-..who was then raised as her sister. | 0:08:28 | 0:08:33 | |
-Frances' mother had -made the brave decision... | 0:08:33 | 0:08:37 | |
-..to raise the child -as one of her own. | 0:08:38 | 0:08:40 | |
-Had her mother taken -a different attitude... | 0:08:40 | 0:08:44 | |
-..darker things would -have come to pass... | 0:08:44 | 0:08:47 | |
-..such as an abortion. | 0:08:47 | 0:08:49 | |
-Abortion did take place -and it was very common in Wales. | 0:08:49 | 0:08:53 | |
-There were many stories... | 0:08:53 | 0:08:55 | |
-..of people who found -babies bodies... | 0:08:56 | 0:08:58 | |
-..in locations such as rivers, -fields and pigsties. | 0:08:59 | 0:09:05 | |
-I believe that Frances was -extremely lucky to have her mother. | 0:09:05 | 0:09:10 | |
-Her mother seems to have been a -person who was ahead of her time... | 0:09:10 | 0:09:16 | |
-..who had taken a compassionate -attitude towards the situation. | 0:09:16 | 0:09:22 | |
-There is no proof that Elise -was the daughter of Frances... | 0:09:25 | 0:09:29 | |
-..but Dr Neil McIntyre -is a strong believer of the theory. | 0:09:29 | 0:09:33 | |
-When you look at -future census records... | 0:09:34 | 0:09:37 | |
-..you discover that they -were often living together. | 0:09:38 | 0:09:41 | |
-They lived at the same address... | 0:09:41 | 0:09:44 | |
-..and clearly she has a very close -relationship with Elise... | 0:09:44 | 0:09:49 | |
-..which seemed a bit ambiguous... | 0:09:49 | 0:09:51 | |
-..in terms of whether she was -a sister or something different. | 0:09:51 | 0:09:56 | |
-Frances went out of her way -to conceal any relationship. | 0:09:56 | 0:10:00 | |
-Why would she do that? | 0:10:00 | 0:10:02 | |
-I think she had determined -on medicine as a career... | 0:10:02 | 0:10:07 | |
-..perhaps before she -became pregnant... | 0:10:07 | 0:10:10 | |
-..and I think that would -have been impossible... | 0:10:10 | 0:10:13 | |
-..if she had been known to have an -illegitimate child in those times. | 0:10:14 | 0:10:18 | |
-Being a single parent... | 0:10:20 | 0:10:21 | |
-..would have ruined her chances -of becoming a doctor. | 0:10:22 | 0:10:25 | |
-As far as we're aware... | 0:10:25 | 0:10:27 | |
-..Frances never publicly recognized -Elise as her daughter. | 0:10:27 | 0:10:32 | |

-At the end of the 19th Century, -a young woman from Brecon... | 0:10:40 | 0:10:45 | |
-..was at the forefront in the battle -to get women doctors. | 0:10:45 | 0:10:49 | |
-Frances Hoggan was a key figure -in women's history and medicine... | 0:10:49 | 0:10:54 | |
-..but her name has been forgotten. | 0:10:55 | 0:10:57 | |
-Frances is rarely acknowledged. | 0:10:58 | 0:11:00 | |
-There are rumours of a memorial -for her at Brecon Cathedral. | 0:11:00 | 0:11:05 | |
-Hello, Dean. | 0:11:06 | 0:11:07 | |
-Hello, Dean. - -Welcome to Brecon Cathedral. | 0:11:07 | 0:11:10 | |
-I'm here to try and find -the monument for Frances Hoggan. | 0:11:10 | 0:11:15 | |
-It's a brass ewer. | 0:11:15 | 0:11:17 | |
-Do you know where it might be? | 0:11:17 | 0:11:19 | |
-I've been in post for ten months -and I've not come across it. | 0:11:19 | 0:11:23 | |
-We might be able to have a look -in the cathedral safe. | 0:11:23 | 0:11:27 | |
-It would be there for safe keeping. | 0:11:27 | 0:11:29 | |
-Shall we have a look? | 0:11:30 | 0:11:31 | |
-Shall we have a look? - -We can do. | 0:11:31 | 0:11:32 | |
-History books say -Elizabeth Garrett Anderson... | 0:11:32 | 0:11:36 | |
-..was the first woman in Britain -to receive a medical degree. | 0:11:36 | 0:11:40 | |
-But, Frances graduated three months -ahead of Elizabeth. | 0:11:40 | 0:11:44 | |
-Oh, gosh. | 0:11:47 | 0:11:48 | |
-Oh, gosh. - -Welcome to the vestry. | 0:11:48 | 0:11:49 | |
-Do you think it might be in here? | 0:11:49 | 0:11:50 | |
-Do you think it might be in here? - -It could be in the safe. | 0:11:50 | 0:11:52 | |
-It's difficult to open, -but we'll have a go. | 0:11:52 | 0:11:56 | |
-That's a urn. | 0:11:56 | 0:11:57 | |
-That's a urn. - -Oh, my goodness. I think this is it. | 0:11:57 | 0:12:01 | |
-Well that's amazing. | 0:12:02 | 0:12:04 | |
-Good heavens. | 0:12:04 | 0:12:05 | |
-Good heavens. - -Wow! | 0:12:05 | 0:12:07 | |
-Presented by the Brecknock Society -and Friends... | 0:12:07 | 0:12:10 | |
-..in memory of Frances -Elizabeth Hoggan, March 1970. | 0:12:11 | 0:12:16 | |
-The very thing you were looking for. | 0:12:16 | 0:12:17 | |
-The very thing you were looking for. - -Goodness gracious! | 0:12:17 | 0:12:19 | |
-It looks as if it's in constant use. | 0:12:19 | 0:12:21 | |
-We use that -to fill the font for baptisms. | 0:12:22 | 0:12:24 | |
-Throughout her life, Frances -challenged Victorian society... | 0:12:28 | 0:12:32 | |
-..that opposed women's education. | 0:12:32 | 0:12:35 | |
-Frances' bid to study medicine -in Britain was refused. | 0:12:36 | 0:12:40 | |
-Her name was banned -from the medical register... | 0:12:40 | 0:12:43 | |
-..and abolished from the -British Medical Association. | 0:12:43 | 0:12:47 | |
-In 1876, -the Enabling Act was passed... | 0:12:48 | 0:12:51 | |
-..thanks to the work of Jex-Blake -and her supporters. | 0:12:52 | 0:12:55 | |
-She got the act passed -in parliament. | 0:12:55 | 0:12:58 | |
-It gave universities the choice -to give medical degrees to women. | 0:12:58 | 0:13:04 | |
-One of the first places -to do this... | 0:13:04 | 0:13:07 | |
-..was the Kings and Queens -College of Physicians in Ireland. | 0:13:07 | 0:13:11 | |
-Frances travelled to Ireland -and sat an exam... | 0:13:11 | 0:13:16 | |
-..and she made it onto -the medical register in 1877. | 0:13:16 | 0:13:20 | |
-Thanks to Elizabeth Blackwell -and Elizabeth Garratt... | 0:13:20 | 0:13:24 | |
-..she was one of the first -of a few women who achieved this. | 0:13:24 | 0:13:28 | |
-The determination of the women -is underlined by Frances... | 0:13:28 | 0:13:33 | |
-..in The Woman Question in Europe. | 0:13:33 | 0:13:36 | |
-In spite of disadvantages -under which they still labour... | 0:13:37 | 0:13:41 | |
-..the next 25 years will have -to record fresh achievements... | 0:13:41 | 0:13:45 | |
-..accomplished by medical women in -the practice of their profession... | 0:13:45 | 0:13:50 | |
-..in science and the direction -of much-needed social reform. | 0:13:50 | 0:13:55 | |
-Married women have the right -to their own property. | 0:13:55 | 0:13:58 | |
-Few women managed to break -into medicine. | 0:13:58 | 0:14:01 | |
-Wealthier women could vote. | 0:14:01 | 0:14:03 | |
-Frances' interest -in educating women grew... | 0:14:04 | 0:14:08 | |
-..and offering them -the same opportunities as men. | 0:14:08 | 0:14:12 | |
-You could say -that she was an outsider. | 0:14:12 | 0:14:15 | |
-She was respected -due to being well-educated... | 0:14:15 | 0:14:19 | |
-..and she was also a doctor. | 0:14:19 | 0:14:21 | |
-A few female doctors existed -around the world at that time... | 0:14:21 | 0:14:25 | |
-..let alone in Wales. | 0:14:25 | 0:14:27 | |
-She had connections -with Elizabeth Garratt Anderson... | 0:14:27 | 0:14:33 | |
-..and other English feminists. | 0:14:33 | 0:14:36 | |
-They realized that education -was the first step... | 0:14:36 | 0:14:40 | |
-..to guarantee that women could -use their abilities to vote... | 0:14:40 | 0:14:45 | |
-..and to get positions -in public office. | 0:14:46 | 0:14:49 | |
-In 1882, Frances was appointed -as a school doctor... | 0:14:50 | 0:14:53 | |
-..at the North London -Collegiate School. | 0:14:53 | 0:14:56 | |
-This was a groundbreaking job. | 0:14:56 | 0:14:58 | |
-In the school archive, there -are many documents about Frances. | 0:14:59 | 0:15:03 | |
-This is her personal notebook. | 0:15:03 | 0:15:06 | |
-In this large book, -there's a page for each pupil... | 0:15:06 | 0:15:10 | |
-..with notes, measurements, -their weight and height... | 0:15:11 | 0:15:16 | |
-..references about the condition of -their eyes and many other details. | 0:15:16 | 0:15:21 | |
-It was a pioneering school, -with its headmistress, Miss Buss... | 0:15:22 | 0:15:27 | |
-..offering physical education -lessons to the girls. | 0:15:27 | 0:15:31 | |
-Frances' work was also appreciated. | 0:15:31 | 0:15:34 | |
-Dear Miss Buss. | 0:15:34 | 0:15:35 | |
-I should be glad if Mrs Hoggan could -examine my daughter, Katie Sharman. | 0:15:36 | 0:15:40 | |
-I find one shoulder out... | 0:15:41 | 0:15:42 | |
-..and fear a slight tendency -to lateral curvature of the spine. | 0:15:42 | 0:15:47 | |
-With kind regard, -I am yours sincerely. | 0:15:47 | 0:15:49 | |
-A B Sharman. | 0:15:50 | 0:15:51 | |
-This separate notebook -has exercises... | 0:15:51 | 0:15:56 | |
-..details of how to use the -gymnasium and how often to exercise. | 0:15:56 | 0:16:01 | |
-In a period when people believed -that exercise was bad for girls... | 0:16:01 | 0:16:06 | |

-..that Elise knew that Frances -was her mother and not her sister? | 0:20:41 | 0:20:46 | |
