@Doug Coldwell: I think this would be an excellent candidate for International Women's Day (8 March). I can move it to the special holding area if you agree. Jolly Ω Janner 08:28, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

@Jolly Janner: Great! I agree. @Jolly Janner: Thank you for moving to special holding area.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 10:40, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

Suggesting something more descriptive than just being "the first woman":
ALT1: ... that Edith Ellen Greenwood (pictured) was the first woman and first nurse to receive the Soldier's Medal after she rescued 15 patients from a burning hospital ward? Yoninah (talk) 20:11, 6 February 2016 (UTC)

@Yoninah: Works for me! I approve. Nice rewording of hook (thanks).--Doug Coldwell (talk) 20:43, 6 February 2016 (UTC)

Thanks. New reviewer needed for ALT1. Yoninah (talk) 21:03, 6 February 2016 (UTC)

ALT1. It is more hooky, thanks to @Yoninah. Verified "first nurse" claim on page 3 of this, and the first woman to get soldier medal/15 patients/burning ward in Arizona in Patrick Watson's book. 168 characters. GTG. Ms Sarah Welch (talk) 22:15, 7 February 2016 (UTC)
