Description:
The Edinburgh Seven is a riveting exploration of the first seven women to go to medical school in Edinburgh and the United Kingdom. The historic group, against the backdrop of the Surgeons' Hall Riot, unravel their fight for acceptance and recognition. 'There seems to be practically no doubt now that women are and will be doctors' (Sophia Jex-Blake). This portrayal not only honours their legacy but also serves as a timeless reminder of the ongoing global fight for equality in education and beyond.
