title: The Ladies Committee of the Women's Hospital, Castlegate, Nottingham, 1880-1900.
abstract: This study co*siders the management of a small provincial and specialist hospital, the Women's Hospital, Castlegate, Nottingham, during the closing two decades of the 19th century. The unusual administration of such an institution by the Ladies committee is examined and the resulting conflict between female authority and the male medical hegemony is described. It is contended that the growing confidence of these women throughout these years in administration and organisation culminated in their renewed constitutional demand for suffrage in 1909.
