GILES'S 76 ELSIE INGLIS CHAPTER I ELSIE INGLIS The War. "Elsie Inglis was one of the heroic figures of the war."[1] Suffrage. "During the whole years of the Suffrage struggle, while the National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies was growing and developing, Dr. Elsie Inglis stood as a tower of strength, and her unbounded energy and unfailing courage helped the cause forward in more ways than she knew. To the London Society she stood out as a supporter of wise councils and bold measures; time after time, in the decisions of the Union, they found themselves by her side, and from England to Scotland they learned to look to her as to a staunch friend. "Later, when the war transformed the work of the Societies of the Union, they trusted and followed her still, and it is their comfort now to think that in all her time of need it was their privilege to support her."[2] Medical. "We medical women in Scotland will miss her very much, for she was indeed a strong rock amongst us all."[3] Scottish Women's Hospitals.
