Early lifeAgnes Borrowman spent the early 1890s as a research assistant, learning about the synthesis of rubber, artificial silk and paper-making materials. She also worked at a retail pharmacy in Scotland, her hometown. When her boss died after World War One, she became the sole proprietor.[1] CareerAgnes Borrowman turned the pharmacy into a school in 1923, called the Pharmaceutical Society of Pharmacy. Of the 15 girls that studied there, 14 had taken prizes and scholarships.[1] Because of her accomplishments, she became the first female member of the Society's Board of Examiners for her commitment to education and training.[1] Agnes Borrowman writing for The Pharmaceutical Journal on December 10, 1917: "During the last ten years women in pharmacy have proved by their college careers that they have enthusiasm, that they intend to take first place, that nothing less will satisfy them. Unless I am very much mistaken, the same enthusiasm and determination will carry them through in the business world into which this war [World War One] has given them the entry."[1] See also
