Abstract
MARJORY STEPENSON was born at Burwell in Cambridgeshire on January 24, 1885 ; she died in Cambridge December 12, 1948. She was educated at Berkhamated School for Girls, and at Newnham College, where she was later to be associate and fellow. As circumstances prevented her following her wish for a medical degree, she equipped herself at the Giofetershire Training College of Domestic Science, and taught for a time there and at King's College of Household Science, London. Soon she had an opportunity to begin biochemical research work at University College, London, under Dr. R. H. A. Plimmer ; her first paper, on animal lactase, was published in 1912. The next year she was aided by a grant from Newnham College, and a little later was awarded a Beit Memorial Research Fellowship ; but her newly begun career was interrupted by the First World War. She served with the British Red Cross during 1914-18, first in France and then in Salonika, where she was V.A.D. commandant. Her work was recognized by the award of the M.B.E. and the Royal Red Cross.
