title: Scottish women medical pioneers: Manchuria 1894-1912.
abstract: In Edwardian Britain, less than 2% of all registered medical practitioners were women. Yet during that era, women played a significant role in providing medical care and education in what were lonely, harrowing and difficult conditions in the Third World. This is the story of how a group of Scottish women doctors brought Western medicine to a remote region of Manchuria between 1894 and 1912.
