She was the 13th woman on the registry of the British Medical Association.[1] BiographyAlice Jane Shannan Ker was born on 2 December 1853 at Deskford in Banffshire, Scotland, the eldest of the nine children of Margaret Millar Stevenson (1826–1900), daughter of James Cochran Stevenson, Liberal MP for South Shields, and Reverend William Turnbull Ker (1824–1885), a Free Church minister.[1][2] At the age of 18 she moved to Edinburgh to study "University Classes for Ladies" including anatomy and physiology. While in Edinburgh she met Sophia Jex-Blake, who was campaigning to have the University issue medical degrees to women. When Jex-Blake's petition was rejected by the University Ker left Edinburgh to complete her medical training in Ireland where she was awarded her licentiateship from the King and Queen's College of Physicians of Ireland. After completing her training she returned to Edinburgh sharing a practice with Jex-Blake for a year.[3] She was the 13th woman to be registered as a doctor in Britain.[4] Ker then undertook further studies for a year in Berne, Switzerland, funded by her campaigning aunts Flora and Louisa Stevenson.[5] When she returned to Britain she worked as a house surgeon at the Children's Hospital in Birmingham, and from there became a general practitioner in Leeds.[3] In 1887 she returned to Edinburgh working as a self-employed doctor, and taking the Royal College of Surgeons Conjoint Examinations, one of only two woman in that year to pass the finals. She married her cousin Edward Stewart Ker (1839-1907) in 1888 and they moved to Birkenhead.[3] Together they had two daughters Margaret Louise (born 1892) and Mary Dunlop (born 1896); their son died in infancy.[1][6] Her practice was in Birkenhead, the only woman doctor in the area. It was successful and she had many additional duties having become the medical officer to female staff working at the Post Office as well as the Honorary Medical Officer to the Wirral Hospital for Sick Children, the Wirral Lying-In Hospital, the Birkenhead Rescue Home and the Caledonian Free Schools in Liverpool.[1][3] She also gave talks and lectures to working-class women in Manchester on topics of sexuality, birth control and motherhood. These talks were published in 1891 work, Motherhood: A Book for Every Woman. In 1893 Ker became involved in the Birkenhead and Wirral Women's Suffrage Society, and after her husband's death in 1907 her interest in women's suffrage became an increasing priority for her.[3] She became chair of the local Suffrage Society but finding them too moderate, in 1907 she joined the more progressive Women's Social and Political Union.[6] Ker worked with Ada Flatman who was a WSPU employee. Flatman organised the WSPU shop which raised substantial funds for the cause.[7] In March 1912 she was imprisoned after being among 200 women breaking windows at Harrods Department store, an action organised by the Women's Social and Political Union. She was force fed whilst in Holloway prison, and as result she was released with ill health before the end of her two-month sentence.[1][3] She write poetry while in prison, contributing to "Holloway Jingles, a collection published by the Glasgow branch of the Women's Social and Political Union. Ker was still working as a doctor but she was asked to leave one hospital. She moved to Liverpool.[4] She joined the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom and took a pacifist line during the First World War. She worked in London up to and during the Second World War. Ker was a vegetarian and anti-vivisectionist.[1] She died on 20 March 1943.[6] WorksIn 1891 she published Motherhood: A Book for Every Woman.
