Winifred Moberly

Winifred Horsbrugh Moberly (1 April 1875 – 1928), was a British academic administrator, the principal of St Hilda's College, Oxford, from 1919 to 1928.[1]

She was born in Calcutta, British India on 1 April 1875, the ninth child and fourth daughter of Charles Morris Moberly (1837–1897), an officer in the Madras Staff Corps, and his wife, Eliza Augusta Dorward (1841–1909), the daughter of James Dorward of Trichinopoly.[1]

Her elder sister Ethel Charlotte Moberly was married to the Russian-born British novelist Fred Whishaw, and Winifred visited them in St Petersburg in her younger years.[1]
