Elizabeth Sanderson Haldane

3.8/5 ( ratings)
Born
May 26 1862
Died
2323 12 19371937
Elizabeth Sanderson Haldane CH JP was an author, biographer, philosopher, suffragist, nursing administrator, and social welfare worker. She was the sister of Richard Burdon Haldane, 1st Viscount Haldane and John Scott Haldane, and the aunt of the Scottish author, Naomi Mitchison. She became the first female Justice of the Peace in Scotland in 1920 and was made a Companion of Honour in 1918.

Haldane was persuaded by Octavia Hill to apply the system of property administration which Hill had developed in London to the situation in Edinburgh and in 1884, at the age of 21, she became convener of the Housing Committee of the Edinburgh Social Union. She took nursing courses in the 1880s and subsequently became involved in establishing the Voluntary Aid Detachment from 1908 onwards. She became a manager of Edinburgh Royal Infirmary around 1901 onwards. Her autobiography, From One Century to Another covers the period from 1862 to 1914. It lacks precise detail but gives a graphic picture of what it was like to be a well-to-do lady in the Victorian and Edwardian periods.
