Working with mice in the 1950s she performed the world's first IVF birth, and went on to play a leading role in designing the regulatory framework for the safe use of IVF in Britain. Anne went on to be the first ever woman Officer of the Royal Society (as Foreign Secretary and Vice President) and was a founder of the Association of Women in Science and Engineering (AWiSE).
