Margaret Todd (c. 1859 – 3 September 1918) was a Scottish writer and doctor who in 1913 suggested the term ''isotope'' to chemist Frederick Soddy. ==Career== A Glaswegian schoolteacher, in 1886 Todd became one of the first students at the Edinburgh School of Medicine for Women after hearing that the Scottish Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons had opened their exams to women. She took eight years to complete the four-year course because, using the pseudonym Graham Travers, during her studies she wrote a novel, ''Mona Maclean, Medical Student''. This was described by ''Punch'' magazine as "a novel with a purpose — no recommendation for a novel, more especially when the purpose selected is that of demonstrating the indispensability of women-doctors". After graduating in 1894 she took her MD in Brussels and was appointed Assistant Medical Officer at Edinburgh Hospital and Dispensary for Women and Children but retired after five years. Her first book having been exceptionally well received and into further editions, she published ''Fellow Travellers'' and ''Kirsty O’ The Mill Toun'' in 1896, followed by ''Windyhaugh'' in 1898, always using her male pen name, although by 1896 reviewers were calling her "Miss Travers". By 1906 even her publishers added "Margaret Todd, M.D." in parentheses after her pseudonym. In addition to six novels she wrote short stories for magazines.
