Louisa Aldrich-Blake, the subject of today’s Google doodle, was the UK’s first female surgeon. She played an important role in setting up hospitals in the first world war and pioneered new procedures for treating cervical and rectal cancers.
Aldrich-Blake obtained her master of surgery degree from the University of London in 1895. She went on to work at the New Hospital for Women and Children and was the first woman to hold various posts at the Royal Free Hospital in London. In 1903, she published an article in the British Medical Journal reporting a new procedure for removing cancerous growths from the rectum.
