Info autore
Dr. Hazel Chodak-Gregory was only the second woman to be elected a Fellow of The Royal College of Physicians by her male peers in 1934, at a time when resistance to women entering the medical profession was still deeply entrenched. Her career followed the pioneering achievements of Elizabeth Garrett Anderson, who co-founded the London School of Medicine for Women (where Chodak-Gregory trained) in 1874, and of Elizabeth Blackwell, the first woman to qualify in medicine in the United States, along with many others. Having qualified in medicine in 1911 Chodak-Gregory was the only woman of her generation to remain in post after marrying in 1916 and having a child in 1920. Her career at the Royal Free Hospital, London, including her deanship of an Emergency Hospital during World War Two, spanned thirty years of continuous service.
Dr. Gill Gregory is a poet, literary critic and biographer. She is also the granddaughter of Hazel Chodak-Gregory and her Introduction locates her grandmother's work in the culturally rich context of 1920s Bloomsbury, where she lived with her husband, Dr Alexis Chodak-Gregory - a Russian-Jewish migrant from Tashkent, who pioneered osteopathy before its time - and her son, Dr Basil Gregory, who would pioneer group psychoanalytic therapy as the first director of the Paddington Day Hospital (St Mary's) in the 1960s.
