A Dorset Woman at War

The story of a remarkable Dorset woman, Mabel Stobart, whose team of female volunteers cared for the Serbian people in extraordinary circumstances during the First World War. Stobart was a strong advocate of women’s suffrage. Recognising the opportunity that the war presented, she established a female-only medical corps in the face of fierce male opposition. By April 1915 Stobart’s tented hospital was in Serbia, treating thousands of civilians. When enemy forces invaded, she led her party in an 800 mile retreat over the mountains, documenting their experiences in a series of powerful photographs which form the basis of the exhibition.
