Evelyn Fox

Dame Evelyn Emily Marian Fox, DBE (1874 – 1955) was a noted British health worker, specializing in mental health and epilepsy.

The driving force for the creation of the British Epilepsy Association (BEA) came from the work of three people:


 * Evelyn Fox, who was General Secretary of the National Association for Mental Health (NAMH – now known as MIND) in the late 1940s
 * Dr. Tyler Fox (no relation) who was Medical Director of the Epilepsy Colony at Lingfield, Surrey
 * Irene Gairdner, a social science graduate from the London School of Economics

Dame Evelyn Fox School
The Dame Evelyn Fox School in Blackburn is named in her honour.
