A Fair Field And No Favour: The History of Women In Surgery


A fair field and no favour’ was the request made by Sophia Jex-Blake whilst campaigning for access to medical education for women in the 1860s. Her request was simple: equal opportunities with no exemptions.

This exhibition explores the journey of women in surgery and medicine from ancient times to the present day.

A Fair Field And No Favour will open on Saturday the 5th of April 2025 and will run until March 2026.
