Life

Elizabeth Whitehead was born into a Unitarian family in Chelsea, Malleson was the first child of 11. After working as a governess she taught at the experimental Portman Hall School.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn

In May 1857, she married a businessman and lifelong Unitarian named Frank Rodbard Malleson and they were to have four children. Malleson became involved with Frederick Maurice's Working Men's College.[1]

In 1863, she was a founding member of the Ladies' London Emancipation Society.[2] Other founder members and executive committee included Mary Estlin, Sarah Parker Remond, Harriet Martineau,[3] Eliza WighamШаблон:Sfn and another women's college founder Charlotte Manning.[2]

Malleson founded the Working Woman's College in Queen Square in Bloomsbury in 1864, and the Rural Nursing Association in 1889 which supplied District Nurses to England's villages.Шаблон:Sfnm

Working Women's College

The Women's Superintendent in 1865 was Sarah Amos.[4] The college became open to both men and women in 1874 after the Working Men's College refused an offer to merge. This co-educational idea was driven by Malleson and her husband and the resulting opposition in the college led to a group led by Frances Martin moving away to form another college for women.[5]

The Malleson's "College for Men and Women" continued in operation to 1901.[6] The rival women's college started by Frances Martin operated until 1966.[5]

Rural nursing

Malleson moved with her family to Dixton Manor in 1884[1] and there she was concerned to find that there was little local service of nurses for pregnant women. Malleson arranged for a trained nurse to be available to serve the people of Gotherington. Malleson's scheme was not the first but she decided to form a national organisation and her appeal for help brought her into contact with Lady Lucy Hicks-Beech. She was the wife of Michael Hicks Beach, 1st Earl St Aldwyn and they gathered enough support to launch a Rural Nursing Association.[7]

In 1871, Queen Victoria decided to use £70,000 donated to her Jubilee to found the Queen's Nursing Institute in 1889. Malleson's nurses became the Rural Nursing Division in 1891 and Malleson became the organisation's secretary.[7]
