Dr Constance Stone – Australia’s First Female Doctor

Fascinated by anatomy from a young age, Constance Stone was unable to study medicine in Australia because no Australian university would accept women. Undeterred, she travelled to the USA, Canada and the UK to train as a doctor. After working in London's New Hospital for Women, she was inspired to create a hospital "by women, for women" in Melbourne. With support from her doctor husband, her sister Clara and a team of young women doctors, she founded the Queen Victoria Hospital for Women.
