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 pu…
