Ida Mann
Dame Ida Caroline Mann, DBE, FRCS (6 February 1893 in West Hampstead, London 18 November 1983) 'a distinguished ophthalmologist...equally well known for her pioneering research work on embryology and development of the eye, and on the influences of genetic and social factors on the incidence and severity of eye disease throughout the world'.〔J.M. Tiffany, 'Mann, Dame Ida Caroline (1893–1983)', ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography'' (OUP, 2004)〕 She was inducted into the Ophthalmology Hall of Fame in 2007. She diagnosed a trachoma epidemic amongst Indigenous people in the Kimberleys and travelled extensively in Western Australia to examine and treat Indigenous people with trachoma. Mann became convinced that better housing and sanitation, rather than administration of antibiotics, would improve this health crisis. ==Education== Ida Caroline Mann was educated at Wycombe House School, Hampstead, London.〔Ida Mann, ''The Chase'' (Fremantle, 1986), p.27〕 She passed the Civil Service Girl Clerk's examination and took a job at the Post Office Savings Bank.〔Ida Mann, ''The Chase'' (Fremantle, 1986), p.46〕 Despite opposition from her father, she applied to study medicine at the London School of Medicine for Women, the only medical school which was open to women at that time. She passed the matriculation examination in 1914, one of only eight women out of hundreds of passes.〔Ida Mann, ''The Chase'' (Fremantle, 1986), pp.48–49〕 She completed her studies, 'with no trouble and intense delight' (Mann: ''The Chase''), and qualified Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MB, BS) in 1920.〔Ida Mann, ''The Chase'' (Fremantle, 1986), p.64〕
