(It had been founded by the physician, Elizabeth Garrett Anderson (1836-1917) above a dispensary in Marylebone and was the first hospital in Britain with only medical women appointed to its staff. In 1918 it became the Elizabeth Garrett Anderson Hospital and continued to have only female medical staff until its absorption into a larger hospital in the 1980s.)
