DOROTHY DOLLING
MEMORIAL TRUST
Born in New Zealand, Dorothy Dolling was a well-educated woman for her time, graduating from the University of Otago with a Masters of Science (Mathematics and Physics).
In 1920 Dorothy was the first woman to lecture in Advanced Mathematics and Physics at the University of Leeds, Yorkshire, England.
She married Dr Charles Dolling, a medical practitioner in South Australia and they had two children.
On his death, she raised their children and worked as journalist ‘Eleanor Barbour’ for the Chronicle, making a strong connection with her readers.
Dorothy travelled extensively in rural South Australia with her work through SACWA and was a dedicated community worker.
As a member of the Metropolitan Branch, she became the first Treasurer of SACWA. From 1935 she held the positions of State Secretary and Deputy State President for 15 years, and was awarded life membership of SACWA.
Her leadership and enthusiasm, her passion for education and deep concern for the individual, underpinned her desire to inspire isolated country women and children “to help them help themselves”.
She was awarded the OBE in 1944 for her welfare work during World War II.
