The Papers of Dorothy Mary Crowfoot Hodgkin NATIONAL CATALOGUING UNIT FOR THE ARCHIVES OF CONTEMPORARY SCIENTISTS University of Bath, Claverton Down, Bath BA2 7AY, England Acta Cryst. (1996). D Dorothy Mary Crowfoot was born in Cairo in 1910 and educated at the Sir John Leman School, Beccles, and Somerville College, Oxford where she read chemistry 1928-1932. Apart from two years research at Cambridge University after graduation she remained in Oxford for the rest of her career. Here for 25 years she combined teaching chemistry at Somerville, where her students included the future Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, with research at the highest level. She became University lecturer and demonstrator in 1946, University Reader in X-ray crystallography in 1956 and from 1960 to official retirement in l977 Wolfson Research Professor of the Royal Society. In 1937 she married Thomas Lionel Hodgkin with whom she had three children. Apart from her scientific research career at Oxford University, Hodgkin undertook a number of prominent public and professional responsibilities including in the UK, Chancellor of Bristol University, 1970-1988, and President of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, 1977-1978, and internationally, President of the International Union of Crystallography, 1972- 1975. Hodgkin's involvement in humanitarian and peace issues was given impetus by the Vietnam War. She became Vice President of the Medical Aid Committee for Vietnam in 1965 and President in 1971, visiting North Vietnam in 1971 and 1974. Her second major commitment in the area of peace and international understanding was to the Pugwash movement (Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs), which she served as President, 1976-1988.

Browse through the 20th century 1990 - now Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin In 1937, using x-ray diffraction, Dorothy Hodgkin began her research into the structure of penicillin. By 1945 this had been achieved and she turned her attention to the structure of Vitamin B12. Already rewarded by being one of the first women elected a Fellow of the Royal Society, she was awarded a Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1964, for her work. In 1969, she completed what she saw as her greatest discovery, the molecular structure of insulin. A passionate advocate of disarmament, Dorothy Hodgkin was always willing to use her position as a renowned scientist to further her cause. One famous occasion was when she met with her former student, Margaret Thatcher, to discuss world peace. Her portrait, by the artist Maggie Hambling, hangs in the National Portrait Gallery.

She was fascinated by the complex organic structures. As Bernal's assistant she became a crystallographer and obtained her Ph.D. in Cambridge (1937). She worked on the determination of different important compounds: pepsin, sterols, insulin, penicillin and vitamin B12. Hodgkin's work was unique not just for its technical brilliance or its medical importance, but because, at every step she used computing machines of various degrees of sophistication. It was for the work on penicillin and vitamin B12 that she won the Nobel Prize in 1964.

An obituary of Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin by M. Vijayan An outstanding scientist and great humanist Professor Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin, who passed away on July 30, 1994, at the age of 84, was an outstanding scientist, great humanist and above all a splendid human being. Among her peers in the scientific community, there would have been others who were respected as much as Dorothy was but perhaps none who was loved more than she was. Dorothy was born on May 12, 1910, in Cairo where her father, John Crowfoot, was then serving with the Egyptian Ministry of Education. She had most of her secondary education at Sir John Leman School in Beccles, Suffolk, England. Subsequently, she joined Sommerville College at Oxford in 1928. At a time when very few women studied science subjects, she took her basic degree in Chemistry. It was during this period that Dorothy carried out her first X-ray studies, those on thallium dialkyl halides, with H.M. Powell. While at Cambridge, Dorothy, along with Bernal, was also involved in X-ray measurements on sterols which she continued in Oxford. She and her associates determined the structures of a number of steroids including cholesterol, over the years.

Pugwash Review by Martin Kaplan Dorothy Hodgkin: A Life by Georgina Ferry D Ferry's biography aptly characterizes Dorothy as "a quintessentially English woman whose humanity recognized no national boundaries." Dorothy Mary Crowfoot's parents came from conventional well-off families who valued learning and intellectual curiosity. They strongly influenced Dorothy towards systematic investigation to answer questions. Her early scholarship in Suffolk was under progressive educators who used practical demonstrations to teach their students. An unforgettable experiment for Dorothy was one of mixing solutions of alum and copper sulfate which were then allowed to evaporate and produced sparkling crystals. She later wrote "I was captured for life by chemistry and by crystals." In 1921, Dorothy entered the Leman School, an excellent new, state-funded secondary school. She traveled abroad frequently to visit her parents in Cairo and Khartoum. Both parents had a strong influence on Dorothy with their Puritan ethic of duty, selflessness and service to humanity which reverberated in her later achievements. Dorothy developed early a passion for chemistry, and her mother fostered her interest in science in general. The excellent education given at Leman School prepared her for Somerville College, an Oxford College for Women. She entered at the age of 18 to read Chemistry. There she became interested in crystallography using X-rays. She joined a small group which worked in small quarters, and was attracted by the work of Linus Pauling and J.D. Bernal on complex organic compounds.

Next Dorothy Mary Crowfoot Hodgkin "She will be remembered as a great chemist, a saintly, gentle and tolerant lover of people, and a devoted protagonist of peace." -M. F. Perutz about Dorothy Mary Crowfoot Hodgkin Dorothy Mary Crowfoot was born in Cairo, Egypt, on May 12, 1910. She attended Somerville College at Oxford in 1932 and received a Chemistry degree. While in college, Dorothy used x-ray crystallography to show atomic structure and discovered that crystals are made of atoms in repeating, regular patterns. In 1933, Dorothy began her real crystallography research. She determined the structural atom layout and certain molecules' molecular shape. She also recorded the first x-ray diffraction pattern of a globular protein with Dr. J. D. Bernal. This determined that a protein molecule's arrangement is perfectly definite and that mother liquid is needed to surround protein crystals in order to study them. Also with her research, she showed crystal packing molecules and their scheme of hydrogen bonds. This was a great chemical breakthrough because they were the first analyses made from 3-D calculations. In 1934, Dorothy returned to Oxford University and took x-ray photographs of insulin by herself, changing modern biolgoy. Then, in 1937, she graduated from Cambridge University with a doctorate and married Dr. Thomas Hodgkin.

Sign in Create an account Help Latest issue ... Features From Dorothy Hodgkin: A Life By Georgina Ferry Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin is so obvious a subject for a biography that I was astonished when I discovered, soon after her death in 1994, that none had been written. As Britain's only female Nobel laureate, she holds a unique place in the history of twentieth-century science. A quintessentially English woman whose humanity recognized no national boundaries, her memory is cherished from Buffalo to Beijing, from Bucharest to Bangalore. Family, friends and colleagues are only too happy to talk about her. But Dorothy herself was wary of 'attempts on her life', and I suspect that were she still living this book would not now be in print. It came about as a result of an article about her that I wrote for the magazine Oxford Today, published only weeks before her death. Soon afterwards her daughter Elizabeth Hodgkin invited me to visit, and we talked about the fragment of autobiography Dorothy had left, which Elizabeth and her niece Kate Hodgkin were trying to prepare for publication. It was clear that there was scope for a much fuller account, and without further thought I said I would be very keen to take this on. There are many reasons why Dorothy deserves to be more widely known. Her distinction as a scientist should be enough. But to it she allied an active concern for international understanding that made her travel tirelessly in the cause of world peace, and promote scientific collaborations between East and West, North and South. At the same time she cared about people as individuals and showed it in great and small ways: giving money to Third World scientists to help them travel or train, sending letters of condolence or congratulation at every opportunity, asking after the children of colleagues and remembering their names. Modern science is often presented as the preserve of the coldly ambitious and ruthlessly competitive. If Dorothy's life has anything to teach us, it is that there is an alternative approach.
