==Biography==
Brown was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania,〔McKenzie, Julie and Denita Denhart. (Dorothy Lavinia Brown ), The Scientist Bank, cspumona.edu〕 and was placed in an orphanage in Troy, New York at five months old by her mother, Edna Brown, where she lived to the age of 12. While at the orphanage, she underwent a tonsillectomy operation, an experience that led to her interest in the field of medicine.〔 Although her mother tried to persuade the young Dorothy to live with her, Brown kept running away from home, only to return to the Troy orphanage. Upon reaching the age of fifteen, Brown ran away to enroll at the Troy High School. She worked as a mother's helper in the house of Mrs. W. F. Jarrett,〔 in Albany, New York.〔Warren, Wini''Black Women Scientists in the United States'', pp 19-23〕 Assisted by a principal of the school, she was introduced to Samuel Wesley and Lola Redmon, a couple who became her foster parents.〔
