Life

Clark was fifth of the 12 children of Eleanor and James Clark of Street, Somerset.[3] She travelled to the University of Bern with Jex-Blake and Pechey to study medicine.[4] Her graduation thesis was titled The Ankle Joint in Man.[5] She was licensed in medicine and midwifery by the Royal College of Physicians of Ireland on 27 May 1878.[6]

Committed to a career in medicine, Clark settled in Birmingham dedicating time to clinical work.[7] She worked in the fields of gynaecology and anaesthesiology and became the assistant to Lawson Tait.[8][9][10] She was entrusted with the care of Dr Jex-Blake in her later years, travelling from Birmingham to administer a treatment of anaesthetic.[11]
