Christine Murrell

Her parents were Charles Murrell, a coal merchant, and Alice Elizabeth Rains.

[2] She spent the beginning of her career in various positions in Northumberland and Liverpool before returning to London to work at the Royal Free Hospital,[1] where she was only the second woman to serve as a house physician.

From 1907, she led an infant welfare clinic run by the St Marylebone Health Society at Lisson Grove for 18 years.

In 1925, she and Letitia Fairfield conducted a survey of girls' experiences of menstruation; the findings were published in The Lancet in 1930.

In September 1933, she was the first female representative elected to the General Medical Council, but she died on 18 October 1933 before taking her seat.
