Born in London the daughter of Sir Archibald Garrod (who became Regius Professor of Medicine at Oxford University), Dorothy Garrod studied history at Newnham College, Cambridge. During World War I, in which all three of her brothers were killed, she worked for the Ministry of Munitions and then for the Catholic Women’s League in france.
