Memoir of Mary Pickford FRS commissioned by The Royal Society

By John F. B. Morrison and John A. Russell

John F. B. Morrison and John A. Russell have recently completely a Biographical Memoir of Mary Pickford FRS.  This documents Mary Pickford's life and research career.  They have done a terrific job on what must have been a huge task given that Mary Pickford died in 2002 and retired from research in 1972.  It is well worth reading.  The Royal Society has agreed to make the PDF freely available and it can be accessed here:
