Speaker(s): Dr Sue Hawkins (History department)
Harriet Coster was matron of St George's from 1873 to 1895, a period of great change both for the hospital and for nursing in general. Despite being matron of a prestigious London institution for such a length of time, very little was known about her before Dr Sue Hawkins began her PhD on the history of nursing; which featured St George's as a case study. In this seminar Sue will discuss how she was able to piece together many elements of Harriet Coster's life, to reveal the remarkable woman she was.
