Edinburgh Seven

Elizabeth Cady Stanton becomes the first woman to testify before Congress in the United States, and she and Susan B. Anthony form National Woman Suffrage Association.

You have the Edinburgh Seven, who are seven women that attend lectures at the University of Edinburgh.

First

women in the UK to do so.

I talk about this in Sleuth Hound.

The Edinburgh Seven were the first women admitted to the university.

I think the first women admitted to a British university.

And there was a big riot as well in Edinburgh that banned them from taking their exams.

And he's a huge proponent of women in medicine, not just in the role of nurses.

And that's where we come to the Edinburgh Seven.

So these were women who were admitted to the university, and then they were blocked from taking their exams in order to qualify.

And there was this huge riot, and it was terrible.
