Return to Civilian Life

Following the Great War both Edith and Florence were decorated for their service. Florence moved to Bournemouth to work at the Royal Victoria and West Hants Hospital and the Victoria Home for Crippled Children. Florence continued to attend national and local meetings, including the Bournemouth Division of the Dorset and West Hants Branch of the British Medical Association, the Wessex Branch of the British Institute of Radiology and the Royal Society of Medicine in London. Edith obtained a lecturing post in physics in the Household and Social Science Department at King’s College for Women in London and continued to promote the role of women in science and engineering.
