Give till it hurts: Janet Vaughan and Spanish Medical Aid.
- Authors
Evans, Sheena
- Abstract
The article focuses on British doctor Janet Vaughan and her involvement with Spanish Medical Aid in the 1930s. The author provides background information on Vaughan's life, education, and career, noting that she was a medical researcher in the emerging specialism of haematology when she worked in Spain. She discusses the subject of British women and their activities in relation to the Spanish Civil War, explores how typical Vaughan was in comparison to other contemporary female medical doctors and scientific researchers in her activities, and describes her involvement with medical aid committees.
