Birth place

[edit]

The ODNB gives place of birth as 9 Chandos Place, London W1. What is the source for Oxford? Chrysippo (talk) 13:50, 18 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The Dictionary of Scientific Biography doesn't list her birthplace but says she was "Until she was nine years old Dorothy was taught at the family home at Merton in Suffolk". I'll take out the Oxford reference. -- phoebe / (talk to me) 19:28, 27 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Section removed and why

[edit]

This section isn't about Garrod's personal life, it's a summary of one person's opinion of her. MurielMary (talk) 09:46, 24 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • ===Personal life===

The archaeology writer Brian Fagan stated that Garrod had been a "quiet, self-effacing chair, who was happy when engaged in her own research".[1] He added that she was "distant, shy, and hard to get to know, but she worked very hard on university committees, often with scant respect from the general board of the University, which controlled funding. She was unaccustomed to the hierarchy and negotiation style of her senior academic colleagues."[2] He added that although her reforms within the department were "important", she had been "a dull public lecturer who preferred to write rather than present her findings orally."[1]
