== Early life ==
Born in Lincolnshire, England in 1877 Grace Mary Hood known as 'Molly' was the oldest of 6 children. Her grandfather collected Egyptian antiquities and this put her in contact with many archaeologists such as William Flinders Petrie. Molly became lifelong friends with Petrie's wife Hilda.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.brown.edu/Research/Breaking_Ground/results.php?d=1&first=Grace&last=Crowfoot )〕
In 1908 she became a professional midwife. This experience proved invaluable when she was able to send for two of her friends who had trained with her 'Bee' and 'Gee' Wollf when she was settled in Khartoum. They set up the first school of midwifery in the Sudan.〔
She excavated the cave at Tana Bertrand in 1908-1909 where she found 300 beads which she published and also found signs of early occupation.〔
