Elizabeth Gilmour Malloch (6 September 1910 – 29 September 2000) was an educator and activist for equality within the Episcopal Church. She was one of the first women to become a priest in the Episcopal Church.[1]

Early life

Education

Malloch attended James Gillespie's High School and the Edinburgh Ladies' College (now The Mary Erskine School).[2] Malloch went on to study at the University of Edinburgh, where she earned a degree in French and Latin[1] and won the University PrizeШаблон:Citation needed.
