The writer Naomi Mitchison, in a short biography of the pioneer doctor Elizabeth Garrett Anderson, suggests a steam roller as a symbol for the Garrett family.1 This is apt, not only because the Garretts had been making agricultural machinery for generations, but also because some individual Garretts—especially the women—possessed the capacity to drive doggedly over obstacles in pursuit of their goals. When the third child of Elizabeth’s brother Sam was born in 1887, a welcome daughter after two sons, Elizabeth arrived to meet the new baby, promptly offered the parents five hundred pounds for her and was astonished to have her offer refused.2 The baby was Margery, the subject of this book, and although Elizabeth did not succeed in adopting her, she did become Margery’s godmother. One might imagine the story as a fairy tale in which this steamroller quality is the gift bestowed by the godmother: Margery’s life certainly demonstrated that she too possessed it, and it was a gift that would make her both fierce enemies and loyal friends.
