		Dame Kathleen Lonsdale was one of the foremost X-ray crystallographers of the twentieth century and one of the first two women to be elected (in 1945, with Marjory Stephenson) Fellow of the Royal Society.
		Lonsdale was a member of Council and Vice-President of the Royal Society, 1960-1961; Vice President of the International Union of Crystallography, 1960-1966, and President in 1966; General Secretary of the British Association, 1959-1964, President of the Physics Section in 1967 and President of the British Association in 1968, the first woman to hold the post.
		Lonsdale’s work on the International Tables for Crystal Structure Determination is also extensively documented, chiefly from 1948 when Lonsdale was made Chairman of the Commission on Tables, in the form of drafts, notes and correspondence with colleagues and publishers.

		Kathleen Yardley Lonsdale, co-developer of the space group tables in crystallography and the scientist who determined the structure of benzene, was born on January 28, 1903 in Newbridge, near Dublin, Ireland.
		When Kathleen Lonsdale was young her parents separated, and her mother took the children to the London area.
		Lonsdale's other professional achievements included experimental proof that the concept of molecular orbitals was a reality, and research in which the lattice constants of synthetic and natural diamonds were determined.

	Kathleen Lonsdale Summary
		Kathleen Lonsdale (1903-1971) was an early pioneer of X-ray crystallography, a field primarily concerned with studying the shapes of organic and inorganic molecules.
		In 1929, Kathleen Lonsdale was the first to prove experimentally that the hexamethylbenzene crystal, an unusual form of the aromatic compound, was both hexagonal and flat in shape.
		In the 1960s, Lonsdale became fascinated with body stones (in lectures, she was fond of exhibiting an X ray of a bladder stone from Napoleon III), and she undertook extensive chemical and demographic studies of the subject.

		She was Dame Kathleen Lonsdale who "played a fundamental role in establishing the science of crystallography and in her scientific career scored several important firsts".
		In 1945 Kathleen was one of the first two women to be admitted to fellowship of the Royal Society, and in 1949 she became professor of chemistry at University College London.
		From a strict Baptist upbringing she, with her husband, turned to the Quakers, and she was imprisoned for one month during the 1939—45 war for refusing to pay a fine imposed for a registration offence.

	Kathleen Yardley Lonsdale
		Lonsdale who had inherited a good ability for simple arithmetic from her father attended classes in the boys school in Ilford, where subjects like maths and science were being taught.
		There was fear that Lonsdale's career having only begun was to end when she married Thomas Lonsdale and moved to Leeds.
		Her strong beliefs led to her serving a months jail service in Holloway Prison in 1943, when as a form of protest against World War II, she refused to register for civil defence duties, and also to pay the £2 fine.

		The structure of lonsdaleite is very similar to that of diamond in that all atom rings found in the lattice have six member carbon atoms linked only by single bonds with 109.5 degrees between each bond.
		The difference is that not all such six atom carbon rings in lonsdaleite take the form of the chair structure; some rings form in what is called a Barringer Crater (or more correctly a boat Kathleen Lonsdale) leaving the unbonded distance between non-adjacent carbon atoms smaller than that of the chair structure.
		This is fundamentally less stable, and causes the hardness of lonsdaleite to be slightly less than that of diamond.

	Lonsdale Coat of Arms
		The present generation of the Lonsdale family is only the most recent to bear a name that dates back to the ancient Anglo-Saxon culture of Britain.
		Their name comes from having lived in Lonsdale, which was in the county of Lancashire.
		The original bearers lived in the valley of the Lon, a river that flowed from Westmorland (now part of Cumbria) into Lancashire.
