She was a lecturer in Japanese at Cambridge University. LifeBlacker was born in Kensington in 1924. Her parents were Carlos Paton Blacker and Helen Maud (born Pilkington). She was interested in Japanese, by the age of 12 she had a Japanese Grammar and in 1942 she attended the School of Oriental and African Studies where she was identified for top secret work. Blacker was recruited by the code breakers at Bletchley Park but she left because she saw no benefit in the work. She was paid two pounds a week because she was a young woman. She met the difficult Orientalist and sinologist Arthur Waley at Bletchley and he inspired her to learn Chinese in her spare time.[1] In 1944, she arranged lessons in Japanese for herself from Major General Pigott.[2] After graduating in 1947 she began her studies at Somerville College, Oxford.[3] Blacker became a Fellow of the British Academy.[1] She was awarded the Minakata Kumagusu Prize in 1998.[4] She married her longtime partner, the Chinese scholar Michael Arthur Nathan Loewe, in 2002. She had met Loewe at Bletchley Park.[2] Blacker died in a Cambridge nursing home in 2009.[4] Works
