Garrett Anderson was conceived Elizabeth Garrett in Whitechapel, east London, in 1836, one of 12 kids before moving to the beach front Sussex town of Aldeburgh.

In spite of the fact that there was no school in the town, her dad urged Garrett to figure out how to peruse and compose and she was later sent to Blackheath's Boarding School for Ladies, in spite of the fact that she griped about the absence of science training at the school.

In the wake of leaving school, she got to be dynamic in the Society for Promoting the Employment of Women, which in 1859 carried her into contact with Elizabeth Blackwell, who had turned into America's first female specialist. This motivated her to wind up a doctor, a calling she said would enhance ladies' rights.

Despite her excellent education, however, Garrett faced significant barriers becoming a doctor. She first worked as a surgery nurse at Middlesex hospital on being refused physician training, and determinedly made her way into chemistry and dissection lectures, despite the protests of male students.

On leaving the hospital, she was refused entry to Oxford, Cambridge and other medical schools but, having privately studied anatomy and physiology, was able to obtain a medical licence from the Society of Apothecaries, which was bound by its rules not to reject students on the basis of their gender.
