Early life and educationBehrens was born on 24 April 1904 in London, England.[1] Her father was Noel Edward Behrens (1879–1967), a Jewish civil servant and banker who had inherited a large amount of money from his father.[1] Her mother was Vivien Behrens (1880–1961), the daughter of Sir Cecil Coward, was a Christian.[1][6] She was educated at home by a series of governesses and never attended school.[3] She spoke French and English from an early age and later added German.[1] In 1923, Behrens matriculated into Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford to study modern history.[1] She graduated in 1926 with a first class Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree.[1] She was awarded a Commonwealth Fellowship to Radcliffe College, a women's liberal arts college in Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States, in 1928.[1][3] Academic careerHaving returned to the United Kingdom, Behrens held research posts at Bedford College, London and at University College, Oxford.[1][3] In 1935, she was elected a Fellow of Newnham College, Cambridge.[1][3] Additionally, she was appointed an assistant lecturer in the Faculty of History, University of Cambridge in 1938 and promoted to lecturer the following year.[3] Her research in the mid-1930s was focused on Henry VIII, and she published a number of articles on this period including on his divorce and on resident diplomats.[1] Her interests moved to later English history and she published an article on Charles II in 1941.[1] As with many academics, Behrens offered her services during the Second World War. Therefore she left academia for a number of years to work in Whitehall,[1][3] where she was likely assigned to the Ministry of War Transport.[7] After the war ended, she spent ten years researching and writing an analysis of the role of British-controlled merchant ships during the war.[7][8] Selected works
