Notes for: Grace Maud Stagg

From http://www.eastanglianlife.org.uk/blog/international-women-039-s-day.html:
Lady Grace Briscoe 1881-1973
A woman who is probably better known for her archaeological career, Lady Briscoe also found time to become a Bachelor of Medicine (M.B), a Bachelor of Surgery (B.S), a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries (F.S.A) and held the office of Justice of the Peace (J.P) for Suffolk in 1937. As well as one of a group of female surgeons who helped to pioneer the use of radiotherapy in the treatment of cervical cancer.
Lady Grace Briscoe was also the West Suffolk Women’s Land Army Chairman during WW2, and we recognise not only Lady Briscoe, but also all of the women who served in the Land Army, ensuring Britain’s self-sufficiency during the War. By 1944 there were over 80,000 members of the WLA, all playing an incredibly important role.
