Dorothy Jessie Storey (née Bartlett; 31 July 1887 – 20 January 1941) was a British chemist and pharmacist.[1]
Storey is known for being one the earliest female chemists to win a number of prizes and scholarships from the Pharmaceutical Society.[1][2] She received a J. C. Hewlett scholarship,[2] a Burroughs scholarship,[3] and a Redwood scholarship, which allowed her to carry out research with Henry Greenish at the Pharmacognosy Research Laboratories.[1] Her research with Arthur William Crossley, another supporter of early women chemists, resulted in a publication on o-Xylene.[4] She then worked as a research chemist at Burgoyne, Burbridges & Co. She was elected an Associate of the Institute of Chemists in 1913.[5]
Personal Life
Storey was born in 1887 to Willy Hugh Bartlett, a clerk at a shipping company, and his wife Emily Sophia Bartlett (née Osbourne) in Brixton, London. She attended Streatham Hill High School in Streatham, London.[1] She studied science at the School of the Pharmaceutical Society, where she won several prizes and passed the Major examination to qualify as a pharmacist in 1911. She received a Bachelor of Pharmacy from King’s College London the same year.[6]
On 17 April 1915, she married fellow chemist William Armstrong Storey,[7] and they had a daughter born April 2, 1916.[8]
Storey died on 20 January 1941 in Manchester.[5]
