Here's a good link to a drawing of her medical device.
Did she have any children?
What is her birth year?

Hi,
I have just joined this list in the hope that someone may have information on a Gt.Aunt
missing inasmuch I could find nothing about her
after the UK Census 1861. It has now come to light that SOPHIA ANN LEE emigrated to
Australia in Feb 1866. In 1868 she married RICHARD
HETHERINGTON in Melbourne but the marriage broke up, it is believed, in Fiji about 1888.
A little later, I am told she added CARRUTHERS
to her name because husband Richard had inherited from his mother LOUISA CARRUTHERS.
Sophia, therefore, then became Sophia Hetherington
Carruthers.
We next hear she has invented, in 1893, an electrical machine to aid nervous aches and
pains (briefly that is what it did) She successfully had
it Patented and exhibited it at the Chicago Trade Fair that year. After that the trail
goes cold and nothing further can be found about her.
If anyone has information it would be most welcome
Doreen Jackson
