Fragile Creatures- The Women Behind the Songs

Welcome to Beyond the Knife -where history and medicine collide.

In this episode, we’re joined by acclaimed singer-songwriter Hannah Rose Platt, whose haunting, cinematic storytelling blends music, theatre, and folklore to bring forgotten histories to life. We explore the remarkable women from medical history who inspired her concept album Fragile Creatures, uncovering the real stories behind the songs-from historical myths and medical misdiagnoses to the women whose experiences have too often been overlooked. Together, we discuss how history, medicine, and music can combine to challenge perceptions, honour untold lives, and inspire new conversations about women's healthcare.

This episode is hosted by Chanté St Clair Inglis Director of Heritage and Estates at the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh.

Produced by Jordanna Kielty-O'Neill and Keshena Goldie for Surgeons Hall Museum, Library and Archives.

Edited by John Kielty
