Theodora Lisle Prankerd (21 June 1878 – 11 November 1939) was a British botanist. Theodora Lisle Prankerd was born in Hackney, London, the daughter of general practitioner Orlando Reeves Prankerd and his second wife, Clementina Soares. She attended Brighton High School and studied botany Royal Holloway, University of London, graduating with 2nd Class Honours in 1899.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.ebooksread.com/authors-eng/university-of-london/the-historical-record-1836-1912-being-a-supplement-to-the-calendar-completed-t-hci/page-70-the-historical-record-1836-1912-being-a-supplement-to-the-calendar-completed-t-hci.shtml )〕 In 1912 she became a part-time Reader in Botany at Birkbeck College, London, and in 1917 was appointed Reader in Botany at the University of Reading, where she lectured until her death. She gained her Doctor of Sciences degree from the University of London in 1929. Between 1922 and 1936 she published a series of pioneering studies in the growth of ferns in response to gravity (geotropism). Although she was credited with all the research and authorship of the published papers, her work was presented at various scientific meetings by male colleagues. Prankerd died in Reading in 1939. ==Publications== * Prankerd, T. L. (1911), On the Structure and Biology of the Genus Hottonia.
