And the OED's 1928 quotation s.v. <emerita> is 'Professor Emerita
Helen Gray Cone, a graduate of Hunter, read an original poem',
from the NY Times.

Egad, an Americanism in the OED!!

When was the first British woman professor, and when did she retire?

The first one that I can find easily was the first at
Cambridge, Dorothy Garrod, who became Disney Professor of
Archaeology in 1937. The first one at Oxford was Ida Mann,
for whom a personal chair was created in 1945. However,
Agnes Headlam-Morley was the first woman to be appoined to a
full professorship at Oxford, in 1948. Kathleen Lonsdale
was the first one at University College, London, becoming
professor and head of the Dept. of Crystallography in 1949.
