One year later, she passedis also missing a citation and
In 1884, Prideaux obtainedis not stated on pp 14-15 of Brock. (Note, it appears to be closely paraphrased from Hussey, but I note that The Pall Mall Budget says her 2nd degree was received in 1883, thus the first was obviously before? but the BMJ says they were received in 1884.) Reviewing copyvios, there is some close paraphrasing: "became a house surgeon at the Paddington Green Children's Hospital", "was made demonstrator of physiology and anatomy", "opposed women entering the field of medicine", "in an open competition with men", etc. As for the last statement, I am not sure what it means. Was there a competition that was open to both genders to vie for a job, or is it simply saying that she competed with male physicians for clients? This is problematic for both the article and hook 0. Hook 1 to me is the more interesting, but could be simplified without the quote. Maybe just end it by saying that "women were intellectually capable". (A query: Was she a physician? Almost all the sources say she was scheduled to take her MD exam when she died. Admittedly I have no clue what the British requirements are for someone to be able to practice.) Please ping me when you have worked through it. A very enjoyable read. I appreciate that you wrote about her and allowed me to learn her story. SusunW ( talk) 16:10, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
