About Dr. Muriel Elsie Landau
Dr. Muriel Elsie Landau, was one of the first women surgeons in England, and four of her sisters founded or ran schools.

While many of their nine sons went into chemistry, physics, or metallurgy, the sisters were drawn to teaching and medicine. Muriel Elsie Landau, Dr. Sacks’s mother, was one of the first women surgeons in England, and four of her sisters founded or ran schools.
