Rebel, rev-head, trailblazer: Lilian Cooper, Queensland's first female doctor

In 1891, 29 year old Lilian Cooper arrived in the city of Brisbane, recruited from London as Queensland's first female doctor. Alongside her life partner Josephine Bedford, the pair became beloved local figures. Lilian- a tall, smoking, no-nonsense practitioner - was fiercely independent, highly skilled and deeply admired by her patients. Her story is the subject of an award-winning musical, A Girl's Guide to World War, now on tour in regional Queensland.
