A forgotten figure of medical, military and LGBTQ+ history takes centre stage at the Hunterian Museum this Pride Month
Join acclaimed biographer Miranda Seymour in conversation with Lisa Appignanesi, writer and a Vice President of the Royal Society of Literature, for an evening uncovering the extraordinary life of Vera Gedroits.
A pioneering battlefield surgeon, social reformer and openly lesbian princess, Gedroits was one of the most remarkable medical figures of her time, yet her achievements and identity were deliberately erased from official histories. Drawing on her new biography, I, Vera, Miranda Seymour brings to life how Gedroits broke medical ground in the nineteenth century while navigating life as an openly lesbian woman in a deeply conservative society.
