Women's Suffrage Resume //__**Elizabeth Garrett Anderson June 9th 1836- December 17th 1917**__// Elizabeth Garrett's main purpose was for women to have rights and vote. She wished to pursue a job in medicine and become the first woman doctor in Britain. I defend Elizabeth at her succeeding by supporting woman's rights. Also that she became the first women to became a doctor and open her own hospital. I agree with everything she's done as a woman to help women in her time and that it's still helping women today.
 * Elizabeth Garrett Anderson** was born in Whitechapel, London in 1836 to Newson Garrett and Louise Dunnell. She attended school for two years in Blackhealth, but she was expected to stay home in the family until she found a man to marry. Well at that time marriage wasn't on her mind. She wanted to have a carrer or as they called it an employment. While she was visiting a friend in London she met Emily Davies, a young woman who had strong opinions about woman's rights. Emily introduced Elizabeth to other young feminists in London and this is where Elizabeth's career began. Her main priority was that women should have rights and the right to vote. In her findings Elizabeth decided she wanted to also pursue a career in medicine and become a doctor. Her parents didn't approve of this but her father decided to support her. In doing this and following her dream,she became Britain's first woman doctor. In 1872, she opened the New Hospital for Women in London which she founded. She got involued with the woman's suffrage and did many things that inspired women.
