Elsie Inglis (1864-1917) and the Scottish women's hospitals in Serbia in the Great war: Part 1
Sažetak
Vest o velikim pobedama herojske a male Srbije u Prvom svetskom ratu proširila se nadaleko. Praćena apelom srpskih poslanstva i srpskog Crvenog krsta, pomoć je pristizala sa svih strana. Prve medicinske misije i sanitetska i druga pomoć došla je iz Rusije. Sledile su medicinske misije iz Velike Britanije, Francuske, Grčke, Holandije, Danske, Švajcarske, Amerike... Materijalna pomoć i pojedinci stigli su iz Poljske, Kanade, Australije, Novog Zelanda, Irske, Norveške, Indije, Japana, Egipta, Južne Amerike i drugih zemalja. Iskreni prijatelji srpskog naroda su formirali razne fondove pod okriljem Crvenog krsta i drugih udruženja. Septembra 1914. formiran je Srpski potporni fond u Londonu, a novembra iste godine u Škotskoj je osnovana prva jedinica Bolnice škotskih žena za službu u inostranstvu. Cilj ovog rada je bio da vratimo sećanje na Bolnice škotskih žena u Srbiji i sa Srbima u toku Prvog svetskog rata. One u istoriji srpskog naroda zauzimaju posebno mesto. Nastale su incijativom dr Elsi Mod Inglis (1864-1917), lekarke, hirurga, borca za ženska prava, a podrškom Škotske federacije sifražetskih društava. Isključivo u sastavu žena, Bolnice škotskih žena su svojim učešćem u ratu velikim delom doprinele rodnoj i profesionalnoj ravnopravnosti, posebno u oblasti medicine. Mnogi stavovi sadašnjice proizišli su zahvaljujući generaciji prvih lekarki, koje su se izborile za ravnopravnost pri izboru i obavljanju profesije lekara, kako u miru tako i u ratu.
Abstract
The news about the great victories of the Gallant Little Serbia in the Great War spread far and wide. Following on the appeals from the Serbian legations and the Serbian Red Cross, assistance was arriving from all over the world. First medical missions and medical and other help arrived from Russia. It was followed by the medical missions from Great Britain, France, Greece, the Netherlands, Denmark, Switzerland, America, etc. Material help and individual volunteers arrived from Poland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, Norway, India, Japan, Egypt, South America, and elsewhere. The true friends of Serbia formed various funds under the auspices of the Red Cross Society, and other associations. In September 1914, the Serbian Relief Fund was established in London, while in Scotland the first units of the Scottish Women's Hospitals for Foreign Service were formed in November of the same year. The aim of this work was to keep the memory of the Scottish Women's Hospitals in Serbia and with the Serbs in the Great War. In the history of the Serbian nation during the Great War, a special place was held by the Scottish Women's Hospitals - a unique humanitarian medical mission. It was the initiative of Dr. Elsie Maud Inglis (1864-1917), a physician, surgeon, promoter of equal rights for women, and with the support of the Scottish Federation of Woman's Suffrage Societies. The Scottish Women's Hospitals, which were completely staffed by women, by their participation in the Great War, also contributed to gender and professional equality, especially in medicine. Many of today's achievements came about thanks to the first generations of women doctors, who fought for equality in choosing to study medicine, and working in the medical field, in time of war and peacetime.
