The hematologist Oswald H. Robertson pioneered the idea of "blood banks" in #WWI by packing glass jars of citrated blood from universal donors in an ice-filled chest that he constructed from ammunition cases. Learn more about this in my book THE FACEMAKER: bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

Rachel Parsons was born #OTD in 1885 + 1 of the first 3 women to study Mechanical Sciences at Cambridge (women were ineligible for degrees) + Co-founder/1st president, Women's Engineering Society + Directed #engineering firm during #WWI, training women to make munitions #WomenInSTEM
Black-and-white vintage portrait photograph of Rachel Mary Parsons (1885–1956), the pioneering British engineer, founding President of the Women's Engineering Society (1919), advocate for women's rights in engineering and employment, and one of the first women to study mechanical sciences at Cambridge University (Newnham College). She is shown in a formal head-and-shoulders studio portrait against a soft, neutral background, gazing directly at the camera with a composed, dignified expression. Parsons wears a distinctive cloche-style hat (popular in the 1920s) made of textured fabric, pulled low over her short bobbed hair, with a sheer veil or netting draped elegantly around it. She is dressed in a sophisticated outfit featuring a dark coat or dress with a wide white or light-colored collar and lapels, accessorized with a long strand of pearls around her neck. The early 20th-century photographic style, with soft lighting and subtle grain, captures her as a trailblazing figure in engineering and feminism during the interwar period. #RachelParsons #WomenInEngineering

Composite image featuring a black-and-white portrait of Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Barbara W. Tuchman, an older woman with short, wavy white hair, expressive eyes, and a thoughtful expression, wearing a dark blouse with a bow at the neck. To the right are two book covers: "The Guns of August" by Barbara W. Tuchman (showing a dramatic wartime scene with silhouetted soldiers and smoke against a gray background, labeled as a Pulitzer Prize winner) and "Stilwell and the American Experience in China, 1911-45" (depicting a red-toned background and black-and-white photograph of General Joseph Stilwell in military uniform in the lower right corner, also noted as a Pulitzer Prize winner). The layout places the Tuchman's portrait on the left with the two book covers stacked on the right.

Dr. Flora Murray knew she would be told to "go home & knit” by the UK War Office if she offered to treat wounded soldiers in #WWI. So, she & other female medics went to the French & set up a hospital in a Parisian hotel. When they offered to go back to England in 1915... (1/2)👇#WomenInSTEM #histsky
A black-and-white historical portrait of Dr. Flora Murray (1869–1923), a pioneering Scottish medical doctor and militant suffragette. She is shown from the waist up, seated in a formal, upright pose with a composed and resolute expression. Dr. Murray wears the tailored, military-style uniform of the Women’s Hospital Corps, which she co-founded during World War I. The dark, structured jacket features a high collar over a crisp white shirt, a belt cinching the waist, and a prominent vertical row of round buttons. On her left upper arm, she wears a stark white brassard prominently displaying a dark Red Cross, signifying her medical service. Her dark hair is styled in a neat, Edwardian-era middle part, pulled back from her face. The background is slightly out of focus, showing the textured fabric and buttons of other uniformed figures, suggesting she is part of a larger group of medical professionals. The composition is tight and centered, capturing a mood of quiet determination and professional authority. This image serves as a powerful testament to her historical significance in challenging gender barriers by leading the first military hospital staffed entirely by women.
