In Wendy Moore's new book about the World War 1 military hospital set up and run by the two pioneering doctors, Flora Murray and Louisa Garrett Anderson the final days of the hostilities approach., but it is "darkest before dawn."

Wendy Moore is the bestselling author of Wedlock. In this her new book, she recounts the story of the trailblazing women who set up three military hospitals during WW1 and is a tribute to their brilliant and courageous work. Louisa Garrett Anderson and Flora Murray were the two doctors who put their campaigning for women's suffrage to one side, so that they could turn their attention to the war wounded. They made their mark by setting up and running a hospital on Endell Street in the heart of London, where over the course of the war they treated 26,000 wounded soldiers. However, when the war ended, Murray and Anderson's achievements were once again side-lined, and the story of Endell Street forgotten.
