The War Office told her to go home and sit still. Elsie Inglis instead raised the Scottish Women's Hospitals and took them to Serbia, running surgery under fire in a war that had no place for her. Eva Shaw McLaren's life of the doctor who refused to be refused is brisk, admiring, and full of the practical courage that made the thing work.
