Frances Preston, MB.CH.B (NZ) was one of New Zealand’s earliest woman doctors, graduating from the Otago Medical School, Dunedin, in 1922. Her medical service included locum, hospital and sanatorium work in Dunedin, New Plymouth, Rotorua, and the Hokianga, where she worked with the famous eccentric Dr. G. M. Smith.
She fought not only disease, but prejudice against women in medicine, a prejudice which is barely credible now, but it was very real in those days.
Dr Preston retired from practice on marriage and become deeply involved with rural community service with the Women’s Division of Federated Farmers Movement.
In Lady Doctor, Vintage Model, she looks back on fifty years of stirring activity in medicine and the WDFF.
