The most renowned member of the team, Derbyshire was recruited directly from Oxford. At that time, although women could attend lectures and sit examinations, they could not take degrees. Derbyshire often sat in on Physics lectures: she had been educating herself in the subject for years. A professor recognised her extraordinary aptitude and recommended her to Torchwood. She was stationed in Cardiff to study the time dilations caused by Rift activity, and her early notes on the subject remain the basis for how we understand it today. Tragically she was killed on active duty in 1919 at the age of 24, with her potential barely glimpsed (before her death, she was making notes for a paper which would have beaten Heisenberg to the Uncertainty Principle). She was awarded a posthumous degree when Oxford changed its regulations in 1920.”
