 She was Britain's first woman radiologist and established the country's first clinical X-ray service.
She had limited equipment and no dark room, and used to develop her plates at home in the bathroom. She was also instrumental in getting women medics onto the front lines in the First World War for which she was awarded the 1914 Star and the OBE. So why have we never heard of her?
Jenni celebrates the life of one of medicine's pioneering women, who died seventy years ago this week.
