Doreen Ingrams was born on January 24, 1906 in London, United Kingdom. She was the daughter of Edward Shortt, who was Home Secretary in 1919-1922.
Ingrams was an authority on the Arab world. She began her studies of socio-economic conditions in Arabia in 1934 when her husband, Harold, was stationed in Aden. She spent a great deal of time researching the lives of Arab women and was responsible for founding a Bedouin Girls’ School, the first of its kind. Doreen was directly involved in organising relief centres and emergency medical care in Mukalla. Her first book, "Survey of Social and Economic Conditions in the Aden Protectorate", was published in 1949 after her return to England.
Doreen joined the staff of the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) in 1956 as a senior assistant in Arabic Service, a position she held until 1968. Ingrams also lectured extensively and served on the Council for the Advancement of Arab-British Understanding.
In 1972 she made use of little-known archive material to produce a work of lasting historical significance in "Palestine Papers 1917-1922: Seeds of Conflict", pinpointing the responsibility of British ministers and officials for the subsequent tragedy in Palestine.
At a reception in her honour in 1994 the members of the Arab Club in Britain presented Doreen with a silver tray as a symbol of "her outstanding contribution to the promotion of Arab-British understanding". For their pioneer work in Southern Arabia Harold and Doreen Ingrams were awarded jointly the Gold Medal of the Royal Geographical Society in 1940 and the Lawrence of Arabia Medal of the Royal Society for Asian Affairs in 1939 - the only time either organisation offered a joint award. In addition, Doreen received in 1993 the Sir Richard Burton Medal of the Royal Asiatic Society.
