Doris Lester
Verona Doris Lester (28 July 1886[1] - 14 February 1965) was born in Leytonstone, Essex, England. She was the sister of Muriel Lester.[2] [3] [4][5]
Doris Lester was responsible for founding Children's House and Kingsley Hall in Bow East London with her sister Muriel Lester[6][7]
Doris Lester worked with Muriel Lester, but was not the international figure that her elder sister Muriel was.[8] She received a telegram from Muriel Lester in 1941 about her imprisonment in Trinidad.[9] She played an active part in the management of Kingsley Hall, including the postwar period.[10]
Doris Lester's papers are part of an archive currently held at the Bishopsgate Institute in London.[11][12]
