    MWIAMWIA 100100 MEDICAL WOMEN: AMBASSADORS OF CHANGE IN A CHALLENGING GLOBAL WORLD JULY 25-28, 2019 | BROOKLYN BRIDGE MARRIOTT | NYC 1 2 Cover Art: Karen Poirier-Brode MWIA PRESIDENT Dear Congress Attendants from All Over the World, It is my great pleasure and honor to serve as MWIA president for the last three years, and at this centen- nial celebration, I welcome you all to MWIA´s Centennial Congress in New York. This Congress will celebrate our achievements as medical women in MWIA over the past 100 years! The theme of the Congress is “Medical Women: Ambassadors of Change in a Challenging Global World,” bridging the past with the present and moving into the future! The theme is very timely, since the specific challenges to women´s health are manifold: e.g. deprivation of women’s rights in many so- cieties, lack of access to health care, socioeconomic, cultural, and political factors. Medical women and national medical women’s associations play an important role in tackling those problems. I am looking forward to fostering dialogue and exchanging ideas with all of you here in New York. MWIA is greatly indebted to the American Medical Women´s Association (AMWA) for hosting this Centennial Congress and making it a memorable event for all of us! Thank you! Being MWIA’s president will always have a special place in my heart and I want to thank you for supporting me, trusting me, and working together with me to make MWIA even stronger. In sisterhood and respect, Bettina Pfleiderer, MD, PhD President, Medical Women’s International Association Dr.

Its contributors have all been variously embedded in the cultural, intellectual and political life of the city over many years: they know of what they speak. Freedom—unlike poetry and prose—does not just happen anywhere. Indeed, it is the case that, although men may be born free, they are too often in chains. Freedom has to be won, sustained and protected. It is always at risk, the fact as well as the word. The argument of this irresistible volume is that, as a city and area, Hull has a proud and distinctive history of resisting forms of oppression, of using an angular independence of thought to challenge the orthodox and of fghting for principles and practical change. Why should this be so? The introduction suggests that it may have had something to do with Hull’s relative isolation and the space it affords for thought.

    2020 Book News Welcome to our 2020 Book News. It’s hard to believe another year has gone by already and what a challenging year it’s been on many fronts. We finally got the Hallmark book launched at Showbus. The Red & White volume is now out on final proof and we hope to have copies available in time for Santa to drop under your tree this Christmas. Sorry this has taken so long but there have been many hurdles to overcome and it’s been a much bigger project than we had anticipated. Several other long term projects that have been stuck behind Red & White are now close to release and you’ll see details of these on the next couple of pages. Whilst mentioning bigger projects and hurdles to overcome, thank you to everyone who has supported my latest charity fund raiser in aid of the Christie Hospital. The Walk for Life challenge saw me trekking across Greater Manchester to 11 cricket grounds, covering over 160 miles in all weathers, and has so far raised almost £6,000 for the Christie.

It is an area of open acid grassland, sports pitches, heath, scrub, woodland, scattered trees and waterbodies, located at the southern end of Epping Forest; owned and managed by the City of London Corporation (COL). Wanstead Flats has a number of statutory designations and is a hugely important resource for the people of northeast London, both for its provision of sporting facilities and also for the opportunity to experience a natural environment within urban surroundings. It is one of the few breeding sites for Skylark (Alauda arvensis) in London and is a notable stop-off for migrating birds. It has a long and well-documented history, from the historical right of commoners to graze cattle and the inception of Epping Forest as a legal entity in 1878, through to World War II and modern times. Significant predicted housing growth is planned in the local area with consequent additional visitor pressure. This Individual Site Plan lists current management considerations but also presents a strategic work programme to ensure a sustainable future for the conservation and heritage interest of Wanstead Flats, along with its immense recreational value.

    Development of Organised Transportation in London

    TfL Corporate Archives Research Guides Research Guide No 10: Development of Organised Transportation in London The establishment of the Underground Electric Railways Company of London in 1902 represented the birth of organised mass transportation in London. Whilst not all of the existing rail operators were initially incorporated, this bringing together of the Metropolitan District Railway, the Baker Street and Waterloo Railway, the Charing Cross, Euston and Hampstead Railway, and the Great Northern, Piccadilly and Brompton Railway, constituted the foundation of the over-arching corporate body responsible for transportation as we know it. This guide charts the key dates in the management of organised transportation in London, from the earliest railway and coach companies to the current incarnation of Transport for London. It is divided into 4 sections: Section1: Companies that became part of the Underground Group prior to 1933 ........ 4 Section2: Companies which merged with other companies prior to becoming part of the Underground Group ...................................................................................................... 8 Section 3: Companies which became part of LPTB on 1/7/1933 which had never been part of the Underground Group ........................................................................................ 15 Section 4: Organisations formed within LT as subsidiaries or acquired after 1/7/1933 ............................................................................................................................................

In this major new study, Claire Brock examines the cultural, social and self-representation of the woman sur- geon from the second half of the nineteenth century until the end of the Great War. Drawing on a rich archive of British hospital records, she investigates precisely what surgery women performed and how these procedures affected their personal and professional reputation, as well as the reactions of their patients to these new phenomena. Also pub- lished as open access, this is essential reading for those interested in the history of medicine. British Women Surgeons and their Patients, 1860– 1918 provides wide-ranging new perspectives on patient narratives and women’s participation in surgery between 1860 and 1918. This title is also available as Open Access. claire brock is Associate Professor in the School of Arts at the University of Leicester.
