Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Dorothy Marshall (26 March 1900 – 13 February 1994) was an English social historian.[1]

She was educated at

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]
