Dr. Ethel Margaret Phillips (1876–1951) was a medical missionary who worked in China for approximately 43 years. Before becoming a medical missionary, Phillips gained admittance into the Victoria University of Manchester and subsequently became the third woman to graduate with a degree in medicine from the University. Upon graduating, Phillips was sent to China as a medical missionary by the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel (SPG). In China, Phillips faced some difficulty with the local population, as they did not trust foreigners after the political turmoil that had taken place recently before Phillips' arrival. Phillips' accomplishments in China include the construction of two hospitals, work with the YWCA, and the establishment of a private practice. Phillips rarely left China and only returned home in the end due to the civil war that was approaching. Phillips died three years after her departure in 1948.〔Phillips, Clifford H. 2003.

At about the time Phillips was four years old, her mother abandoned her family, taking Phillips’ youngest brother, Herbert, with her. Since Phillips’ father had developed TB, it was decided that Phillips and her siblings would leave Bridgnorth, a small town in England, and go to live with their grandmother. Spending less than a year at her grandmother's house, Phillips was then sent away to London to attend school. Much of Phillips' childhood was made up of living with unpleasant hosts and being passed from school to school. By age fifteen, Phillips began earning her living through teaching at Rushmore College, a private school located in Kidderminster, Shropshire. Phillips took on various teaching jobs for the next few years, while also continuing her own studies. Phillips passed the Cambridge examination and then became an Associate of the Royal College of Preceptors.〔
