Margaret Elizabeth Buchanan (26 July 1865[1] – 1 January 1940) was a British pharmacist and pioneer of women in pharmacy. Buchanan was born in Clerkenwell, London, to Albert Buchanan, a physician, and Elizabeth Anne Blake.[2] She was educated at North London Collegiate School. She qualified as a pharmacist in 1887 and passed the Major examination in 1888, gaining a silver medal and taking second place in the Pereira competition. She started as a hospital pharmacist at the Westminster General Infirmary and took over Henry Deane's pharmacy at 16 The Pavement, Clapham Common sometime between 1911 and 1914.[3] Agnes Borrowman became a partner and the practice trained generations of female pharmacists. By 1923 of the 15 young women from the business who studied at the Pharmaceutical Society School of Pharmacy 14 had taken prizes and scholarships. In 1924, she transferred the business to Borrowman and founded the Margaret Buchanan School of Pharmacy for Women at Gordon Hall, Gordon Square. She offered a 10-month course for the examination of the Society of Apothecaries for £21.[4] She was one of the founders of the National Association of Women Pharmacists, becoming its President, and was, in 1918, the first woman to be elected to the Council of the Pharmaceutical Society, serving until 1926.[5] She retired to Devon, where she died on New Year's Day in 1940.[6] References1. ^1939 England and Wales Register {{DEFAULTSORT:Buchanan, Elizabeth}}{{UK-scientist-stub}}2. ^1911 England Census 3. ^{{cite book|last1=Hudson|first1=Briony|last2=Boylan|first2=Maureen|title=The School of Pharmacy, University of London: Medicines, Science and Society, 1842-2012|date=2013|publisher=Academic Press|isbn=0124076904|page=67|url=https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=1e2tPp10UKAC&dq=Margaret++Buchanan+pharmacist&source=gbs_navlinks_s|accessdate=13 May 2018}} 4. ^{{cite news|title=Celebrating Women in Pharmacy|url=https://www.nawp.org.uk/pdf/June_2016_Newsletter.pdf|accessdate=13 May 2018|publisher=NAWP Newsletter|date=June 2016}} 5. ^{{cite book|last1=Rayner-Canham|first1=Marlene|last2=Rayner-Canham|first2=Geoffrey|title=Chemistry Was Their Life: Pioneering British Women Chemists, 1880-1949|date=2008|publisher=Imperial College Press|isbn=1860949878|page=402}} 6. ^England & Wales, Civil Registration Death Index, 1916-2007 6 : Women scientists|English pharmacists|1864 births|1940 deaths|Women pharmacists|People from Clerkenwell |
