She was a working-class woman from Glasgow who, through her 1859 autobiography, gave an account of the challenges she faced within medical, legal, and ecclesiastical systems as a disabled woman in early Victorian Scotland. Her work is noted for providing a rare disabled female working-class account of navigating these institutions and overcoming legal biase to get compensation for medical malpractice. Her hybrid autobiography is unusual in combining personal narrative with various documentation to showcases her efforts to get justice and while challenging societal norms of the time.[1][2][3]
