Florence Dissent

Florence Hope Dissent-Barnes (9 July 1869 – 3 March 1930) was an Anglo-Indian medical practitioner and surgeon.

[5] The Dufferin staff, in 1892, consisted of Dissent, two male European surgeons, ten nurses, a midwife, a dresser, a compounder, and a matron.

In 1891, the Indian Medical Gazette published a gynecological case study from her practice at Allahabad.

The article implored Indian woman to become medical practitioners particularly for the sake of treating the zenanas, who could not be seen by male doctors.

The Webbs noted the prevalence of syphilis in the area and were taken to see Dissent's hospital, which treated only women and children.

[8] In 1922, Dissent was employed to the Government of Bombay to inquire into the maternity conditions of industrial women workers.

[10] Sometime between Florence's return to India from England in December 1894 and 1899, Florence married James Adolphus Fitz Ernest Barnes (June 8, 1864 - November 10, 1907), the son of Joseph James Barnes (1835-1873) and Elizabeth Charlotte (née Rossiter) Peacock (1839-1896).

[11] Percival Barnes married Rose Ellen Jackson at the London Tabernacle on Saturday, August 8, 1953.
