Homersham, Eliza Margery
Miss Margery Homersham.
A noted personality has passed away by the death of Miss Margery E Homersham, of Hampstead, who took a leading part in the demand for the inquiry into the management of the Metropolitan Hospitals in the year 1891. As a probationer at the London Hospital, she realised the great necessity for nursing reform, and gave useful evidence before the Lords Committee of Enquiry, whose report in support of nursing reform, the three years standard of training and State Registration was embodied in most valuable blue books without which the historical section of no nurses' library can be considered complete.
Like that of many courageous reformers, Margery Homersham's professional career suffered from the antagonism which she aroused in exposing serious abuses which have long been remedied.
