Obituary: Dorothy Margaret Bramley: 1921 - 2015

摘要

A Bradford lass, Dorothy was educated at the celebrated Salt's Grammar School for girls, Saltaire, subsequently becoming a graduate of the celebrated Leeds College of Domestic Science, locally and irreverently known as the Leeds 'Pudding School'. Dorothy's contribution to the war effort was as one of the Government advisors who demonstrated to women's groups how to cook thriftily and eat healthily during those days of wartime food shortages. Later she worked for the national 'Mass Observation' social research project which for the first time monitored the lives of 'ordinary people', a project referred to as 'an anthropology of ourselves', the archive of which is maintained at Sussex University.
