Mary Brodrick
Dr. Mary (May) Brodrick F.R.G.S. (1858 – 13 July 1933) was a British archaeologist and Egyptologist who was one of the first female excavators in Egypt. She persisted in her studies despite the initial opposition of her tutors and fellow students and achieved distinction in her field. The ''Daily Mail'' described her in 1906 as "perhaps the greatest lady Egyptologist of the day".〔''Daily Mail'', 26 November 1906. Quoted in Janssen.〕
== Early life ==
Brodrick was born at 18 Navarino Terrace,〔(Brodrick, Mary (1858–1933). ) David Gill, ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography'', Oxford University Press. Retrieved 2 February 2015. 〕 Dalston, Middlesex (now London), on 5 April 1858,〔 the eldest daughter of Thomas and Mary Brodrick. Thomas Brodrick was a solicitor and the 1861 census shows the family living within the Liberty of the Close, in the grounds of Salisbury Cathedral, Wiltshire. Mary Brodrick had sisters Edith and Ethel.〔"1861 England, Wales & Scotland Census Transcription". ''findmypast''.

Brodrick was the first woman to study Egyptology under Gaston Maspero at the Sorbonne, and Hebrew and Semitic archaeology under Ernest Renan at the Collège de France. Neither had been encouraging at first. Maspero had objected, "But we do not take little girls here", and Renan had vowed "I have never taught a woman in my life, and I never will".〔Janssen, Rosaling & Jac. (1999) "Excavating in the Petrie Museum" in A. Leahy & J. Tait (Eds.) ''Studies on Ancient Egypt in Honour of H.S. Smith''. London: Egypt Exploration Society, pp. 151–156. ISBN 0856981516〕 When Brodrick insisted on attending, Maspero took the matter up with the Sorbonne council who found nothing in the rules to prevent a woman attending. According to Brodrick, Maspero warned her that she would "probably have a very bad time" and indeed when she first attended she found the students to be rough, rude, and smelly. On one occasion they poured ink down her back. Brodrick simply laughed their tricks off and eventually became great friends with them.〔
