About this person
Elizabeth Gould Bell was the first woman to practice as a qualified medical doctor in the north of Ireland - in Ulster - and was a vocal and militant suffragist. In a protest action by the Women's Social and Political Union, in 1913-14, she engaged in a series of arson attacks directed against the Unionist establishment in Belfast. Amnestied at the outbreak of the First World War, she became one of the first women to work with the Royal Army Medical Corps. In her last years, she continued to campaign for maternity and child welfare services.
