| The historic and sandstone mansion built in 1904 by one of Canada's most brilliant surgeons, Dr. Frank Richardson England, (1862-1942) and his wife, Grace Octavia Ritchie, (1868-1948) the first woman to received a degree in medicine in Quebec. Both worked at Western Hospital, which today houses the Montreal Children's Hospital. Mrs. England was perhaps even more remarkable than her husband: Valedictorian of the first class of women to graduate from McGill University in 1888, she went to study medicine at Bishop's when McGill refused to allow a woman to enter what was then a men's profession. She set up private practice on Bishop Street, campaigned for women's suffrage, legal reform and compulsory education, and was the first woman candidate fielded by the federal Liberals. |
