Surgeons' Hall riot
The Surgeon's Hall Riot (18 November 1870) was a defining moment in the campaign of the Edinburgh Seven, a group of women fighting for the right to train and practice as doctors. It created a groundswell of support for the women's campaign, and also led to a well documented libel case against Sophia Jex-Blake.
== The riot ==
On 18 November 1870, the ladies were to attend an anatomy exam at Surgeon's Hall in Edinburgh. As they approached the building, they were confronted by a large crowd of students and several hundred onlookers. They were verbally abused and pelted with refuse, and the gate to the building was slammed in their face. They were eventually able to gain access to the hall - some resources state that access was facilitated by helpful janitorial staff, while others assert that the women were assisted by sympathetic male students. Several disruptive students were ejected from the building to allow the examination to proceed, however it was further interrupted when a live sheep — the pet sheep of the college known as "Poor 'Mailie" — was let loose in the room through a back door. After the close of the examination, a group of Irish students known as the "Irish Brigade" escorted the women out of the college in safety, although they were by this time well spattered with mud.〔
