She chartered a bank, launched a boycott, scared some powerful men and then designed her own wheelchair! She didn’t do some things, she did everything!So, Who is She? is about telling the stories of women the world forgot to mention and whose accomplishments were buried, forgotten or lost.

For nearly a century, this doctor kept a secret. Had anyone found out, jail would have been certain and a lifetime of accomplishments would have been wiped away. Accomplishments that included a groundbreaking caesarean section and decades of public health reform across the British Empire. This doctor proved, by simply doing the work, that every argument ever made for keeping women out of medicine was fiction. Not a matter of opinion. The proof is in the surgeries performed, the lives saved, the hospitals transformed, the water supply improved, the patients who went home when they would otherwise have died.So, Who is She? is about telling the stories of women the world forgot to mention and whose accomplishments were buried, forgotten or lost.
