Biography
Isabella Macdonald Macdonald was born in 1856, daughter of John Macdonald, lawyer and town-clerk of Arbroath and his wife Ann, née Kid (d.1860). The couple had eleven children including seven daughters.[1] Her younger sister, Louisa Macdonald was an educationist and suffragist.[1]
She was an early student of the London School of Medicine for Women, established to provide a route by which women could acquire the credentials necessary to become a registered physician in the UK.[2][3]
She graduated in 1888 as a doctor of medicine (MB)[4][5] and pharmacist. She practiced initially, for three years, as the resident physician at Cama Hospital, Mumbai, returning to the UK with ill-health. Thereafter she worked for many years at the Elizabeth Garrett Anderson Hospital, rising to the level of consultant physician and retiring in 1925. She maintained a private practice operating from her house in Seymour Street, Portman Square until 1940, when the property was destroyed as the result of a wartime bombing.[2]
Her 1947 obituary makes no mention of any marriages. She died, aged 91, in 1947.[2]
