Dorothy Marshall (26 March 1900 – 13 February 1994) was an English social historian.[1]
She was educated at Preston grammar school and Girton College, Cambridge, where her tutor was Eileen Power.[1] She researched her PhD at the London School of Economics. In 1926 it was published as The English Poor in the Eighteenth Century.[1] Marshall worked at Bedford College, Durham University and finally Cardiff University, where one of her pupils was Roy Jenkins.[1] In his memoirs, Jenkins wrote: "I think her teaching may have been crucial. I desperately needed coaching in the writing of Oxford-style history essays. Even she could not get me a scholarship, but with her help I secured in March 1938 my entry to Balliol".[2]
