Dorothy Hodgkin
Dorothy Mary Hodgkin OM FRS , known professionally as Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin or simply Dorothy Hodgkin, was a British biochemist who developed protein crystallography, for which she won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1964.
Dorothy Mary Crowfoot was born in Cairo, Egypt, to John Winter Crowfoot , an archaeologist and classical scholar, and Grace Mary Crowfoot ne Hood , an archaeologist and expert on Ancient Egyptian textiles. She lived in the English expatriate community in Egypt, returning to England only a few months each year. During one of those stays in England, when Hodgkin was four, World War I began. Her mother lost four brothers in the war. Separated from her parents, who would return to Egypt, she was left under the care of relatives and friends until after the end of the war when her mother came to England for one year, a period that she later described as the happiest in her life.
