Dear Wolfgang, You have come up with some most interesting references to Kathleen Wright (née Higgins).
At last we know her Oxford College, Lady Margaret Hall. I enjoyed your calculations that lead to her being born in 1926... Died 1 January 1999 aged 72, therefore... Since she died on 1 January 1999 aged 72, she became 72 between 1 January 1998 and 31 December 1998 - thus she was born in 1926. For completeness, she could have been been born on 1 January 1927 and still satisfy the known constraints! We cannot therefore be certain about 1926 just yet :-) As you say, her College should have a file on her. Fortunately Privacy Rules seem to relax a bit after death! > I would be interested in learning what is > written about her in the "Directory of > British scientists"... Yes. That is worth pursuing. I'll hand that task to the biographer... > I would also be interested in seeing the > outcome of the work of her biographer. Alas, he is not writing a full-length biography. He writes Who's Who style entries for some publication and Kathleen Wright is just one of scores of people on a long list that he is working through. That said, Kathleen Wright is turning out to be one of the most interesting people he is investigating! Thank you very much.
