BBC News - Edith Smith: Blue plaque for WW1 woman police officer



"

A blue plaque honouring the first
female police officer with the power of arrest has been unveiled in the
Lincolnshire town where she worked.


Midwife Edith Smith came to Grantham in 1915 to help tackle prostitution
after the billeting of 14,000 soldiers in the area during World War One."
