Elizabeth Garrett, an English physician, born in London in 1837. She began to study medicine at Middlesex hospital in 1860, and after perfecting her knowledge at St. Andrew's, Edinburgh, and the London hospital, she received the diploma of L. S. A. in 1805, and the degree of M. P. was granted to her in 1870 by the university of Paris. She acquired a considerable practice in London as a physician for women and children, and also became known as a writer on medical and social questions, and as an advocate of woman's rights. She was general medical attendant of St. Mary's dispensary from 1866 to 1870, when she became a visiting physician of the East London hospital for children and dispensary for women. At the first election of members of the metropolitan school board under the new education act, at the close of 1870, she received in the district of Marylebone upward of 40,000 votes, being 20,000 votes more than any other candidate in any other part of London. Among the other successful candidates were Miss Davies, Prof. Huxley, and Lord Lawrence. Since her marriage with Mr. Anderson in 1871 she has been known as Dr. Anderson-Garrett.
