Dorothy Jessie Bartlett

Dorothy Jessie Bartlett (married name Storey, 1887 – 1941) was a British chemist.

She was born in Streatham in 1887, the only daughter of shipping clerk Willy Bartlett and his wife Emily, née Osbourne, and educated at Streatham Hill High School.[1][2][3] She studied science at the School of the Pharmaceutical Society, where she won several prizes and passed the Major exam to qualify as a pharmacist in 1911, and received a B.Pharm from King’s College, London the same year.[4] She received a J. C. Hewlett scholarship,[5] a Burroughs scholarship,[6] and a Redwood scholarship, which allowed her to carry out research with Henry Greenish at the Pharmacognosy Research Laboratories.[3] Her research with Arthur William Crossley, another supporter of early women chemists, resulted in a publication on o-Xylene.[7] She then worked as a research chemist at Burgoyne, Burbridges & Co. She was elected an Associate of the Institute of Chemists in 1913.[1]

In 1915, she married fellow chemist William Armstrong Storey,[8] and they had a daughter.[9] She died on 20 January 1941 in Manchester.[1]
